Sumario: Nowadays there is a growing interest in the construct of psychopathy and its application to research on youth. The Psychopathy Checklist – Youth Version (PCL-YV) (Forth, Kosson & Hare, 2003) is a derivative from the PCL-R that includes consideration on the particular characteristics of youngsters (Zúñiga, 2008). This article is a review of three studies that contributed to this area. One is a psychometric characterization of the PCL: YV in Chilean population (Zúñiga, Vinet & León, 2011). The others, allow the identification of important risk factors present during youth that have different impact in psychopathic and non-psychopathic adults (León, Asún & Folino, 2010; León & Folino, 2011). The studies are a contribution to knowledge in this field.
