La Libertad Court Launches ‘Ruta de Flagrancia’ Visits to Steer Teens Away From Crime

The program uses live walk-throughs of fast-track cases to show each justice actor’s role.

Overview

  • The court’s Flagrancy Unit hosted more than 30 fifth-year students from Túpac Amaru II at the interagency flagrancy center in Florencia de Mora.
  • Students watched a staged case from arrest to hearing that showed how police, prosecutors, public defenders, and judges handle an offense caught in the act.
  • Court president Cecilia Milagros León Velásquez urged the group to make responsible choices to avoid legal consequences that could harm their future.
  • Organizers said the outreach will continue at other schools across the province under Administrative Resolution No. 000402-2025-CE-PJ.
  • Flagrancy units in Peru process crimes seen in real time on an expedited track, which makes them a clear setting to teach due process and civic duties.
