Zusammenfassung:Research with children and young people is essential for understanding antisocial behavior and victimization. Likewise, learning about juvenile offenders’ needs and experiences has been a central issue in juvenile justice research. Therefore, criminology needs research with young people. In this chapter, we discuss the ethical and emotional issues in researching with and for children, based on our own experience in the field. We begin by emphasizing that the entire design of an investigation, in each of its phases, must be respectful and careful of children’s well-being, taking a child-centered approach. We pay special attention to how to encourage the voice of young people to be heard and attended to throughout the research process. Secondly, we reflect on how researchers can respond to ethical requirements, such as free participation and anonymity; also, we discuss about emotional work that researchers must carry out. Finally, we collect some lessons learned and good practices to carry out rigorous and respectful research.
