title: Psychopathic traits mediate the effects of neighbourhood risk on juvenile antisocial behaviour.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Research of the indirect effects of neighbourhood risk through psychopathic personality traits (i.e., impulsiveness, narcissism and callous-unemotional traits) on juvenile antisocial behaviour has become relevant.
  
  
  METHODS
  In the current study, mediation effects were assessed using a sample composed of 406 young people between 14 and 21 years old, 82.7% males, from juvenile centres in Galicia and Andaluc&iacute;a (Spain).
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results showed significant mediation effects of neighbourhood risk on antisocial behaviour through impulsiveness and callous-unemotional traits.&nbsp; Conclusions: The implications of the mediation effects for prevention, risk assessment, and risk management in juvenile offenders are discussed.
