(b) RELEVANT CONSIDERATIONS.— In implementing the directive in subsection (a), the Sentencing Commission shall consider— (1) the severity of the crime that the defendant intended the minor to commit; (2) the number of minors that the defendant used or attempted to use in relation to the offense; (3) the fact that involving a minor in a crime of violence is frequently of even greater seriousness than involving a minor in a drug trafficking offense, for which the guidelines already provide a two-level enhancement; and (4) the possible relevance of the proximity in age between the offender and the minor(s) involved in the offense.
