Abstract: Despues de mas de 10 anos de entrada en vigor de la Ley Organica 5/2000, de 12 de enero, de Responsabilidad Penal del Menor, se hace imprescindible realizar un estudio sobre la reincidencia juvenil en Extremadura, para conocer el impacto de dicho precepto. No cabe duda que uno de los problemas que mas alarma social genera en la poblacion es la delincuencia cometida por los menores con responsabilidad penal. Inicialmente se hace un repaso a la literatura criminologica actual sobre la reincidencia, programas de prevencion, tratamiento a menores delincuentes y la evaluacion de la eficacia de dichos programas. En el presente trabajo, siguiendo la metodologia de otros estudios nacionales como el de Catalunya, analizamos la reincidencia de la delincuencia juvenil en Extremadura, concretamente de las medidas privativas de libertad. Se analizan los expedientes judiciales cerrados de aquellos jovenes que hubieran finalizado una medida de este tipo en el ano 2007 y se realiza el seguimiento de los mismos hasta el ano 2010. En el ano 2007, 115 jovenes cumplieron o estaban cumpliendo una medida privativa de libertad en un Centro de Menores o Permanencia Fin de Semana, de los cuales 63 (57 varones y 7 mujeres) resultaron pertenecer a la muestra final objeto de analisis. Los resultados obtenidos revelan que la tasa de reincidencia es del 52,4%, similar a la de otras Comunidades Autonomas, como Pais Vasco o Catalunya, e inferior a la de Asturias. Otro dato relevante es que un 41,9% de los menores objeto de estudio presentaban antecedentes, por lo que se refleja un comienzo en carreras delictivas acorde con los estudios existentes. La presente investigacion ayuda a conocer la eficacia de los diferentes programas que se aplican a los menores delincuentes que cumplen medidas de internamiento, asi como tambien hace una critica de esta al situarla con una elevada tasa de reincidencia.
