Provides a disturbing account of what many consider the next Mafia—Latino crime gangs. Focusing on the Los Angeles based Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and the 18th Street Gang, and the Chicago-based Latin Kings, this describes how neighbourhood gangs evolved into extremely brutal, sophisticated criminal enterprises and how local and federal authorities have struggled to suppress them. As it makes clear, the problem of transnational Latino gangs involves complex national and international issues, such as racial tensions, immigration policy, conflict in Latin America, and world economic pressures.
