Street gangs have long been a concern to policy makers. The more
recent emergence, growth, and expansion of two Latino street gangs,
the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), and the 18th Street Gang, have raised
concern among policy makers for several reasons. Reports suggest
that these gangs are engaged in criminal enterprises normally
associated with better organised and more sophisticated crime
syndicates and perhaps most disturbingly for policy makers in a
post 9/11 world, alarms have been sounded in some circles that
international terrorist organisations like al-Qaeda could exploit
alien and narcotics smuggling networks controlled by these gangs to
infiltrate the U.S. This book provides an overview of the MS-13 and
M-18 gangs, examines how these gangs are different from other gangs
and organised crime groups, discusses what constitutes a
transnational gang and the various federal responses to these
gangs.
