All data are used spss15.0 software for statistical analysis, through multi-factor logistic model that violent crime related risk factors.Results1. Violent criminals have low level of education and less family income. In most cases the structure of their family is incomplete (parents divorced, father died, mother died), and in their childhood they all have the physical abuse.2. The four dimensions of EPQ personality: The E(extraversion) scores and the P (Psychoticism) scores of violent crime group are higher than those of non-violent crime group (P <0.05);The N (neuroticism) of non-violent crime group are higher than those of the violent crime group (P <0.05), and the violent crime group N scores are higher than those of the normal group (P<0.05); The L(Lier) scores of violent crime group and non-violent crime group are no sense in statistics, but those are higher than the normal group's (P <0.01).3. In EMBU, the FSS1(father's emotional warmth and understanding)scores of violent crime group are higher than those of non-violent crime group(P<0.01), while less than the normal group(P<0.01). For FSS2 (father's severely punishment) and FSS4 (father's preference), the violent crime group are higher than those of non-violence group and the normal group(P<0.01). For the scores of FSS3, FSS5 and FSS6, there are no significant difference between the violent crime group and the non-violent crime group, but they are higher than those of the normal group (P <0.01). In MSS1 (mother's emotional warmth and understanding), the normal group is higher than that of violent crime and non-violent crime group (P <0.05), while there is no significant difference between the violent crime group and the non-violent crime group. In MSS2 (mother's overly protective and excessive interference) and MSS5 (mother's preference ), the violent and non-violent group have not obvious difference but higher than those of the normal group (P <0.01).In MSS3 (mother's rejection, denial) and MSS4 (mother's severely punished) violent crime group are significantly higher than those of non-violent group, and the non-violent group are higher than the normal group's (P <0.01).4. The difference in success, knowledgeable, entertainment between the violent group and non-violent group makes no sense in statistics, but all lower than those of normal group (P <0.05); the organization of violent crime group is lower than that of non-violent group and the normal group (P <0.05).5. In the physical attack, point-of the offensive the violent crime group are higher than those of non-violent group (P <0.05) and the normal group (P <0.01). In the language offensive, anger and hostility, the difference of violent crime group and non-violent group in total score makes no sense in statistics, but they are higher than the normal group (P <0.01).6. The cohesion of violent crime group is lower than the normal group (P <0.01), and the gap with the non-violent group is not obvious. But the actual adaptation of violence group is lower than that of non-violent group (P <0.05) and the non-violent group lower than the normal group (P <0.01). 7. In resolving problems (PS) the scores of violent crime group are higher than the non-violent crime group (P <0.05), and lower than the normal group (P <0.05). In the communication (CM) and role (RL), the differences of violent crime group and the non-violent crime group are not obvious, but they all lower than the normal group (P <0.01). In the behavioral control (BC), the non-violent crime is higher than that of violent crime group and the normal group (P <0.01), while the gap between the violent crime group and the normal group makes no sense in statistics.ConclusionsThe one who has the characteristics as follows appears to have high risk for violent crime: low level of education, less income. Family structure is incomplete, has the history of childhood physical abuse; high psychoticism and high extraversion of the personality characteristics, bad family environment, and family relations are relatively rigid, low adaptability and cohesion, with many parents refused and denied. Youth violent crime should be caused social and educational, and other relevant departments concerned to strengthen the family and social support system, launching the long-term crime problems of education; According to juvenile violent crime and the risk factors of the development and implementation of targeted violence against youth crime intervention.
