VOICED: Colombia's crack cocaine crisis

Colombia faces a surge in crime, with over 1800 murders last year. The police struggle to control violence fueled by a new, cheap cocaine derivative called Bosco, devastating poor neighborhoods. Drug traffickers have shifted focus to the domestic market, selling Bosco in small doses for high profits. This has led to violent turf wars, with local gangs and youth involved in the drug trade. Despite the police's efforts, minors like Luis, involved in violent crimes, are often released quickly due to their age.
