Abstract

The article examines the impact of U.S. criminal deportations in Central America as of May 2019. The U.S. has reportedly been deporting gang members back to their home countries since the late 1980s to reduce violence and crimes. Topics include the possibility that the increased criminal capital in Central America has led to the decline in human capital investments in the region, the history of gangs in Los Angeles, California, and the effects of U.S. gangs on education.
