Yet, Positive Psychology states that all human beings possess, to certain extent, virtues and strengths and these are universally manifested in most cultures. This paper is aimed at determining and analyzing whether individuals who have committed a crime exhibit virtues and character strengths. The study was conducted in a penitentiary institution at Hermosillo, Mexico. The Virtues and Strengths Inventory (VIA-S), Spanish reduced version, was administered to a sample of 104 inmates: 89.4% males and 10.6% females. The findings revealed that, as any other people, individuals who have committed any offense exhibit virtuous traits and character strengths. Dentro del campo de estudio de la psicología de la criminalidad, con cierta regularidad se caracteriza a las personas que han cometido algún delito como individuos con rasgos de personalidad negativos y carentes de fortalezas de carácter. Sin embargo, la Psicología Positiva (PP) plantea la noción de que todos los seres humanos poseen, en grados variables, virtudes y fortalezas y que éstas se manifiestan universalmente en la mayoría de las culturas. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar y analizar si las personas que han cometido algún delito presentan, por lo tanto, rasgos virtuosos y fortalezas de carácter. El estudio se llevó a cabo en una institución penitenciaria de la ciudad de Hermosillo, Sonora, México. Se aplicó el inventario de virtudes y fortalezas (VIA-S), en su versión del idioma español y reducido a una muestra de 104 internos: 89.4% hombres y 10.6% mujeres. A partir de los hallazgos se concluyó que, así como el resto de las personas, los individuos que han cometido algún acto delictivo poseen rasgos virtuosos y gozan de fortalezas de carácter.
