In this article, we discuss the hypothesis that, in the absence of a period of standby that adolescence represents, the lawbreaker adolescent seems to shorten the transition from childhood to adulthood in a kind of short circuit that suppresses the passage of the preparation characteristic of adolescence. As a symptomatic response, they alienate themselves to the knowledge of the Other of the traffic and identify themselves with the figures of the crime as a response to the difficulties that the puberty presents, as a new meeting with the structural hole of sexual trauma. For this analysis, we place the conceptual difference between puberty and adolescence and between violence, aggression and aggressive act in psychoanalysis, with the changes in the composition of the social bond in the contemporary world as background

Keywords : Adolescence; Puberty; Violence; Criminality; Contemporaneity.
