MARTINS, Maria José D.. Condutas agressivas na adolescência: Factores de risco e de protecção. []. , 23, 2, pp.129-135. ISSN 0870-8231.

This article presents several theoretical approaches to explain the fact that adolescence is the period of life where more risks are taken, concerning to health, life and problems with the legal system. We emphasize Jessor approach, because it delineate risk and protector factors in the individual and in his environment, we describe with some detail those factors and related them with the findings that several researches from different authors had revealed in the last years. We conclude that Jessor approach is very pertinent to understand, predict and prevent the emergence of aggressive conduct in adolescents.
