This paper explores structural differences between the juvenile delinquents who are victims of parental abuse and the law-abiding delinquents, in the perception of the type and intensity of psycho-social disorders which occurred in the early childhood. This research includes 265 interrogated persons at the age of 15 to 18. The participants of the experimental group and those of the control group perceived and commented on the type and intensity of the psycho-social disorders on the basis of a specially constructed questionnaire. In order to define the basic psychosocial disorders which establish a difference between juvenile delinquents and their law-abiding peers, we applied to the psychosocial disorders scale, comprising 8 variables from the questionnaire, first the one-factor analysis of the variant, and then the canonical discriminatory function. The results obtained on both levels indicated that the most frequent disorders include lying, night fears, envy and malice toward the siblings.
