This present article aims to show the factors behind the emergence of psycho-pathological tendencies of the delinquent juvenile and to describe the resulting effect.

Our study was conducted at the Juvenile Re-Education Center (Ain M'lila, - Oum El Bouaghi), it included a sample of four (04) delinquent juveniles.

- Psychological predispositions and organization of the personality: depressive, persecutory, and schizophrenic tendencies, a tendency to loss of logic and Tendency to lose stability.
