Menores juzgados como adultos: Basso advierte el límite de una respuesta solo punitiva

Carlos Basso, editor of the Investigative Unit at El Mostrador, analyzes the debate sparked by the government's proposal to allow 16- and 17-year-olds to be tried as adults for serious crimes. In conversation with Mirna Schindler, Basso addresses the limitations of a response focused solely on punishment, the role of prisons as spaces where organized crime continues to operate, the recruitment of young people by criminal networks, and the lack of preventative policies capable of challenging this culture. He also reviews the Comptroller General's report on the actions of former Minister Trinidad Steinert, the extradition of Larry Changa, and the history connecting the Tren de Aragua gang to kidnappings, homicides, and high-profile legal cases, including the Ojeda case. A conversation about security, the state, organized crime, and the institutional vacuum that precedes the crimes that currently dominate the public agenda.
