Today, young people and adolescents face great challenges such as violence, environmental degradation, diseases like COVID-19, discrimination, and poverty. This compromises a child's ability to function in this increasingly complex world and can lead to juvenile delinquency. Due to the increase in Ecuadorian statistics, it was decided to specify this issue as a social problem. Therefore, it is defined as an objective of the work: to analyze the forms of prevention of juvenile delinquency through the application of Diffuse Cognitive Maps. The hypothesis is that if the best method for the prevention of juvenile delinquency is determined, action strategies can be determined to mitigate the social phenomenon, contributing to the policy of good living, a constitutional right of Ecuadorians.

Keywords : Juvenile delinquency; prevention; diffuse cognitive maps; formal education.
