Abstract
Some metric characteristics of Eysenck questionnaire on basic personality dimensions for children (EPQ-Junior) and C-scales of predisposition to criminal behaviour in adolescents that might be inferred from the questionnaire were tested on a sample of children in early adolescent age. The findings speak in favour of the use of C-scale of predisposition to criminal behaviour in the Croatian language in order to predict socially unacceptable behaviour of children, primarily boys in early adolescent age. However, due to some specific reasons related to the application of EPQ-J questionnaire in Croatia, its further adaptation seems necessary.
