This article is an effort to better understand the discrimination mechanisms that ex-gang members perceive upon leaving the gang and seeking to reinsert themselves into a society marked by high levels of violence and inequality, as in Central America. Based on 24 in-depth interviews with former members of MS-13, the 18 Street gang, and other street gangs in El Salvador, this article analyzes the different mechanisms of discrimination perceived by respondents as a result of the stigma of past gang membership. This article also documents how these perceptions of discrimination can affect individuals who are searching for employment opportunities and seeking to reinsert themselves into society.
本文旨在更好地理解前帮派成员在离开帮派并试图重新融入中美洲那样暴力和不平等程度高的社会时所感受到的歧视机制。基于对萨尔瓦多MS-13、18街帮派及其他街头帮派前成员的24次深度访谈，本文分析了受访者因过去的帮派成员身份污名而感受到的不同歧视机制。本文还记录了这些对歧视的认知如何影响那些正在寻找就业机会并试图重新融入社会的个人。
