  ABSTRACT: A qualitative study was conducted among 14 - 17-year-old male adolescents (N = 16) in Estonian juvenile correctional institutions with individual semi-structured interviews. For a description of the content structure how male juvenile delinquents describe the two aspects of identity—personal and social, was used. First, males were asked to describe themselves as a measure of personal identity; and second, social identity was defined as how the respondents perceived that friend to see them. Quantitative content analysis was based on an inductive analysis of responses to two general open-ended interview questions. Research results reflected that male juvenile offenders in the correctional institutions had a predominantly negative, mixed, and contradictory personal and social identity both in terms of personal traits, basic (academic, athletic, and work-related) skills, prosociality and emotional aspects, as well as positive around the physical appearance, whereas some of the respondents had mentioned that their personal and social identity has not been formed. In addition, institutionalized juvenile offenders’ descriptions of their stigmatized delinquent personal and social identity did not coincide with their involvement in delinquent behavior and corresponding attitudes.
