Chaparral Border: Root Causes and Mexican Police

chaparral border: At risk of falling on the chopping block are development programs that work to tackle the root causes driving migration poverty, inequality, violence and corruption, according to Toronto Star. These include outreach to at-risk youth to combat forced gang recruitment as well as programs to address gender-based violence and support education, workforce development and the uphill fight to root out endemic graft. Over time, they say, it will only worsen the problem.

El Salvador had a homicide rate of 50.3 per 100,000 people in 2018.
