The prevalence of juvenile offenders recidivating and returning to the justice system during young adulthood is alarming. However, the relationship between psychosocial problems and crime in young adults with a history of juvenile offending remains almost unexplored. This study examined the role of mental health and psychosocial problems in criminal indicators among young adults with a history of juvenile delinquency. The protocol was administered in 2014/2015 to young adults with records of juvenile delinquency in 2010/2011, evaluating a set of mental health, psychosocial, and criminal indicators. The results showed that their current psychological distress and drug consumption are related to criminal indicators. Our findings suggest that mental health might play a major role in criminal behavior. Recommendations for the juvenile justice system and social welfare policies are provided.
