National authorities detected organized crime groups that use 7-year-old children to commit crimes. As consequence, resident representative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Alice Shackelford recommended that the country should create control policies in order to prevent people who have lifted out of poverty from falling back into that condition.
According to the analyst, this aspect represents a challenge that the country must face as unemployed and uneducated young people are related with crime and therefore there is a greater possibility of being recruited by organized gangs.
