The present study examined the psychometric properties of the shorter general delinquency scale version of the classic commonly used Self-Report of Delinquency (SRD) measure created for the original National Youth Survey (NYS) using a sample (N = 412) of male (n = 200) and female (n = 212) at-risk Portuguese youths. The shorter version of the SRD demonstrated satisfactory validity and reliability, namely in terms of its latent one-factor structure, internal consistency, convergent validity, divergent validity, concurrent criterion validity and discriminant groups validity that overall justifies its use among this population. The shorter general delinquency scale version of the SRD is a valid and reliable measure from a modern psychometric perspectivethat can be used with at-risk youths.  aPSICOLOGIA  aPSICOMETRIA  aJUVENTUDE  aDELINQUÊNCIA JUVENIL  aJOVEM  aRISCO  aPORTUGAL  aPECHORRObPedro   aLIMAbRissélice  aSIMÕESbMário R.    aDeLISIbMatt  j159.9PEC
