Se presenta una investigación cualitativa que a través de la entrevista y el relato de vida pretende identificar los elementos característicos de las pandillas salvadoreñas y sus diferencias respecto a otras estructuras similares de la región. Se presenta un marco teórico que permite situarse en los antecedentes históricos y en los factores sociales y políticos que permitieron el surgimiento y expansión de las pandillas. Los resultados describen a las pandillas como estructuras sólidas, jerarquizadas con alta capacidad de adaptación y cada vez más sofisticadas. La discusión extrapola el fenómeno a otros contextos con características similares para comprender la dimensión del problema.
This is a qualitative investigation that based on the interview and the life story, aims to identify the characteristic elements of the Salvadoran gangs and their differences from other similar structures in the region. A theoretical framework is presented that allows locating in the historical background and in the social and political factors that allowed the emergence and expansion of gangs The results describe gangs as strong, hierarchical structures with high adaptability and increasingly sophisticated. In the discussion, the phenomenon is extrapolated to other contexts with similar characteristics to understand the dimension of the problem.
