Random and organized violent crime is endemic throughout El Salvador and the region. Many Salvadorans are armed, and shootouts are not uncommon. Armed holdups of vehicles traveling on El Salvador's roads appear to be increasing. El Salvador has one of the highest homicide rates in the world. Both violent and petty crimes are prevalent throughout El Salvador. Armed assaults and carjacking take place both in San Salvador and in the interior of the country, but are especially frequent on roads outside the capital where police patrols are scarce. Criminals have been known to follow travelers from the international airport to private residences or secluded stretches of road where they carry out assaults and robberies. Criminals often become violent quickly, especially when victims fail to cooperate immediately in surrendering valuables. Frequently, victims who argue with assailants or refuse to give up their valuables are shot.

Mara Salvatrucha is a large gang involved in criminal activities throughout the world. The gang's name is commonly abbreviated as MS-13, Mara, MS, and is composed of mostly Salvadorans. The MS-13 gang has cliques, or factions, located throughout the United States and is unique in that it retains its ties to its Salvadoran counterparts.

Their membership is believed to total over 50,000 in the United States alone. MS-13 criminal activities include drug smuggling and sales, black market gun sales, human trafficking, assassinations for hire, theft, and assaults on law enforcement officials.Their activities have caught the eye of the FBI, who in September 2005 initiated wide-scale raids against suspected gang members, netting 650 arrests across the country.

Although founded among IMMIGRANTS to the United States, the policy of deporting convicted criminals back to their country of origin led to a large gang presence in El Salvador. Back in El Salvador, these deportees have recruited more members, including new members who emigrate illegally to the United States

Former gang member Brenda Paz said that MS 13 is well structured, with multiple leaders.

What about I furnish you with a wise answer? Race = Human. until eventually you got here from Mars your race and anybody else's on earth is HUMAN! Ethnicity = Mexicans and El Salvadorians are seen caucasian. There are dozens of sub-divisions for caucasians and also you do not might want to be lilly-white to be caucasian. NOW maximum Mexicans and El Salvadorians have indigenous roots of their ethnicity that's characteristic of being olive to darkish pores and skin tone and extra indigenous facial helpful factors. So. The indegenous roots of El Salvador at the on the spot are not the same as Mexicans. Mexicans would have Aztecs and Toltecs in them. El Salvadorians I dont understand i'm not a geneologist. Nationality = the soil the position you've been born. if you're born in Mexico you at the on the spot are not El Salvadorian because they are 2 diverse international locations... NO it isn't the same!! Plus Hispanics as a rule like to inform one yet another aside and imagine they are diverse and/or more beneficial than the different at the same time as in truth they are ALL indians... you recognize what I recommend? I wouldnt get too a lot into this cuz that is a waste of a at the same time as.

El SAlvador is El Salvador is located in Central America. It has a total area of 8,123 square miles (21,040 km²), making it comparable in size to, although slightly smaller than, the state of Massachusetts. El Salvador is the smallest country in continental America. Due to its size it is affectionately called the "Tom Thumb of the Americas". It has 123.6 square miles (320 km²) of water within its borders. Several small rivers flow through El Salvador into the Pacific Ocean, including the Goascorán, Jiboa, Torola, Paz and the Río Grande de San Miguel. Only the largest river, the Lempa River, flowing from Honduras across El Salvador to the ocean, is navigable for commercial traffic. Volcanic craters enclose lakes, the most important of which are Lake Ilopango (70 km²/27 sq mi) and Lake Coatepeque (26 km²/10 sq mi). Lake Güija is El Salvador's largest natural lake (44 km²/17 sq mi). Several artificial lakes were created by the damming of the Lempa, the largest of which is Embalse Cerrón Grande (350 km²/135 sq mi).

El Salvador shares borders with Guatemala—126 miles (203 km) and Honduras—212.5 miles (342 km), and is the only Central American country that does not have a Caribbean coastline. The highest point in the country is Cerro El Pital at 8,957 feet (2,730 meters).
