Maras and Pandillas are strongly linked with the migration phenomenon, as a consequence of the deportation from USA of several young migrants members of these gang in their countries of origin, as well as because of the increasing of the migration flux from Central America to Europe: every day hundreds of Central Americans migrate, leaving grandparents and relatives in charge of the sons and daughters. This causes a lack of educational referents, which together with the context of social exclusion, and lack of opportunities, lead many youngsters, to enter a gang.
