This book draws on the author’s decade-long experience as an educator, who is also a children’s rights scholar, in a small juvenile justice centre (JJC) in northern Spain. It emerges as the author’s reflection on his own particular experiences in the JJC, in connection to his wider concerns with children and youth’s emancipation. Thus, it explores the possibility of achieving emancipation, through relationships, while faced with multiple layers of coercion, and aims to be a toolbox for those who approach juvenile justice, and the education allegedly at its core, with a critical eye.
