Wilson Hernández: “The conviction to leave the criminal life is often not natural, but activated by triggers”
“The conviction to leave the criminal life is often not natural, but is usually activated by triggers. According to studies, one may be getting a stable job. Another is getting married or having children and starting to think not only for oneself, but also for others. Another is taking away leisure time from teenagers in a good way. […] At the municipal and school level, there should be programs to retain them, which can be sports, art, public spaces, etc.”.
Wilson Hernández, Adjunct Researcher at GRADE, is interviewed about the wave of insecurity in the El Comercio’s program Tenemos que Hablar.
