The criminal justice systems must face these challenges taking into consideration both aspects related to the developmental phase and context of the youth who are recruited as well as the modus operandi of the criminal groups recruiting them. The transnational links of these gangs and other organized criminal groups are complex and pose problems for criminal justice systems to respond effectively. This event will contribute to a better understanding of the issues through the presentations by HEUNI on preventive and responsive measures related to youth crime and GI-TOC on their recent research on the phenomenon.
