Abstract

This article analyzes the citizen security policies that have been implemented in ElSalvador to combat gangs. The study reviews the four different governments that from2003 to 2019 have tried, without success, to reduce the high levels of violence. The articleexamines how these policies have allowed the strengthening of gangs, the weakening ofinstitutions and, mainly, the spike in violence and in homicides, which has made ElSalvador one of the most violent countries in the world. On the other hand, a briefpresentation is also made on the future of the citizen security policy of the government ofNayib Bukele, considering the current context generated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
