Description

This file from the Barcelona Juvenile Court, dated 1961, is part of a set of documents that reflect a profound change in the way the Spanish State approached vulnerable children. Created in 1921, the guardianship courts meant the institutionalization of the guardianship, protection and reform of minors, assumed for the first time by the public authorities. The file shows how, at the height of Francoism, discourses of protection were combined with practices of social control, especially on children from the popular classes.
