In this new episode of SPILL THE TRUTH podcast, our authors José Navarro and Carolina Lecaros are going to speak about something that defines us as a country, crime. Specifically about the latest news where they talk about the crimes committed in districts such as Lince or San Juan de Lurigancho. These districts have been placed in a state of emergency as a preventive measure against the growing problems that invade our country.

The Peruvian government has declared in state of emergency to some districts of the country, like Sullana from Piura, San Juan de Lurigancho and Lince in Lima. Concerning the last one, the measure has been imposed due to the high rate of human trafficking and prostitution in the district. Accordingly, operations were carried out under the order of the Ministry of the Interior to rescue and apprehend organizations that commit organized crime and carry out human trafficking. For this, Carolina is relying on Marco Aurelio Tejada’s (criminal judge and ex Criminal Law professor at UIGV) definition of organized crime to understand more about human trafficking and the organizations that are doing it. However, the measures taken by the government have been positive for some, but negative for others. Many businesses have shown their dissatisfaction and disagreement with the new policy.

Therefore, our speakers are going to discuss how this is affecting our society, economy and above all, the violation of people's rights and their integrity.

Finally, they close the episode by calling on the authorities and the conscience of each of their listeners to reflect on the ravages of crime in our country.
