The Truth Behind Street Gang MS-13

“There are a lot of common misunderstandings or myths about street gangs,” crime expert Steven Dudley told Inside Edition Digital. In particular, the group Mara Salvatrucha-13, or MS- 13. MS-13 has received a lot of attention in the media, and not every depiction has been accurate. According to Dudley, the group “is a very useful political tool for people who want to vilify immigrant populations.” Dudley is the author of the recent “MS-13: The Making of America's Most Notorious Gang.” #InsideEdition
