Abstract: This article presents the results of the life stories and answers to questionnaires of young people who have served the judicial sentence of living in an open regime educational group in Catalonia for crimes of child-to-parent violence. The analysis identifies the spaces, moments and processes that the participants considered to enhance or limit empowerment. The research concludes that this judicial sentence favours the development of empowering personal skills, such as self-esteem or responsibility. The article ends with a series of reflections on how to compensate for the limiting factors identified and, as a consequence, how to improve future socio-educational interaction.
