Seventeen years after the civil war in El Salvador came to an
end, violence and insecurity continue to shape the daily lives of
many Salvadorans. This book examines the phenomenon of youth gangs,
as well as related police abuse, clandestine violence, and their
collective impact on the rule of law. Beginning with an evaluation
of the historical legacy of violence in El Salvador and the
limitations of postwar efforts to construct functioning democratic
and judicial institutions, "No Place to Hide" analyzes the dynamic
evolution of violent street gangs and the Salvadoran state's
responses to gang-related and other forms of violence. The book's
findings are based on primary research conducted in El Salvador
between 2006 and 2008.
