Failure of Chile’s main anticrime scheme forces a thorough review and overhaul
With evidence mounting that Chile's key anticrime programme is not working, and that major-crime rates are continuing to multiply, the government has decided to reorganise the interior ministry, creating a unit devoted exclusively to combating crime. It is also responding to public pressure and pushing for congress to speed up passage of a bill on juvenile crime, which has registered explosive growth in recent years.
