Despite the copiousness of studies about the risky behaviors of adolescents, we cannot establish with certainty the leading aspects involved in teens' substance abuse and criminal actions. This review aims to explore the interplay among the family system, substance abuse, and criminal behavior. The analysis of the main results of 61 articles published between 2010 and 2020 shows that adolescents whose parents are justice-involved and often absent from home, are more likely to perceive lower cohesion, support, and poor communication in family. These factors can involve them in criminal acts and substance abuse. Moreover, these conducts are often linked to a form of uneasiness and a search of autonomy. Indeed, risky behaviors could have more than one meaning. Our findings suggest also that in adolescence the most diffused drug-related crimes are economic crimes, weapon carrying, robberies, dealing, and possession of drugs. Considering these results, future clinical implications might be based on multidimensional approaches, focusing more on family context, to promote interventions for at-risk adolescents.

恶性循环。有问题的家庭关系、药物滥用和青春期犯罪：叙事回顾

尽管对青少年危险行为进行了大量研究，但我们无法确定青少年药物滥用和犯罪行为的主要方面。本综述旨在探讨家庭制度、药物滥用和犯罪行为之间的相互作用。对 2010 年至 2020 年间发表的 61 篇文章的主要结果的分析表明，父母有正义感且经常缺席的青少年更有可能感受到家庭的凝聚力、支持度和沟通较差。这些因素可能使他们参与犯罪行为和药物滥用。此外，这些行为往往与某种形式的不安和寻求自主权有关。事实上，危险行为可能有不止一种含义。我们的研究结果还表明，青少年时期最普遍的毒品相关犯罪是经济犯罪、携带武器、抢劫、交易和持有毒品。考虑到这些结果，未来的临床意义可能基于多维方法，更多地关注家庭背景，以促进对高危青少年的干预。
