Manage episode 483837927 series 2970749
Gang membership in El Salvador has a common theme, which is also a potential solution for reducing gang membership and gang violence there.
In this interview, I discuss the following with my guest:
►How did El Salvador become the world's most violent country?
►Why is crime so high in El Salvador?
►What are deferred vengeance and retaliation?
►What kinds of crimes are committed in El Salvador? What's the extent of violence?
►Is MS-13 essentially an international gang?
►What is like to interview gang members in El Salvador?
►What is the common theme among gang members in El Salvador?
►How are crime and politics related in El Salvador?
►Has Pres. Bukele really reduced crime?
►Was the Carter Administration involved in the 1979 coup d'etat?
►Was the U.S. involved in this Civil War?
►During the last two decades, has the U.S. been involved in El Salvador politics?
►If you wanted our audience to remember just one point about “El Salvador”, what would it be?
