Objective: to describe antisocial and criminal behavior in Colombian adolescents and their differentiation according to socio-demographic variables. Method: a cross-sectional research was applied with a descriptive and inferential design, which included a sample of 770 subjects, of whom 47.8% were male and 52.2% female, with ages ranging from 10 to 23, belonging to public schools in five cities in Colombia. For the collection of data, the Antisocial-Criminal Behavior Questionnaire (A-D) was applied (Seisdedos, 1995). Results: teens have a higher anti-social criminal behavior, and this appears more frequently in men. In relation to the cities, Bogota teens present the more antisocial behavior, while in Cali teens tend to have major criminal offences. Conclusion: studies that take into account other variables of individual, group and social types, as well as the family context, become important. These could contribute significantly in the improvement and creation of prevention programs in minors.
