Costa Rica podría enfrentar cabecillas criminales cada vez más jóvenes si no rompe el ciclo de violencia, advierte experta

Costa Rica faces a growing risk of younger criminal leaders emerging if the country fails to address the underlying cycle of violence. While law enforcement continues to execute operations against organized crime, these efforts primarily result in temporary disruptions, such as arrests and seizures, rather than a permanent reduction in criminal activity.

Experts warn that current police-led strategies are insufficient to dismantle the long-term foundations of the violence. Without systemic interventions to break the cycle, the country remains vulnerable to a generational shift in criminal leadership that could perpetuate instability despite tactical successes by security forces.
