I was all ready to point out it that doesn't make sense to compare a single city to an entire country. In pretty much every country in the world there is more crime in cities than in rural areas so the average for the country will be lower than a city.

That said, Baltimore appears to have 5x the homicide rate of the deadliest city in El Salvador (Ahuachapan).

I will go out on a limb here and say I expect many of these central and south american countries underreport their homicide rates.

I’m going with Betteridge’s Law of Headlines and say, “no.”

What is the reason for this?

Because they sent Mara Salvatrucha here. If they had kept them our numbers would be lower and theirs would be higher.

Their president has claimed to arrested over 56,000 suspected criminals in the span of 9 months(1% of the population)

El Salvador has arrested 55,000 as part of ‘war’ on gangs

The arrests come as parliament extended emergency powers that allow authorities to arrest suspects without warrants.

Now don't call me silly, merely thinking like a liberal.
If the same people are released and commit another crime, could it be argued that crime stats are not accurately reported as there are no "new criminals" being created. So therefore, crime has not increased, it's the same number of people.

no "new criminals"

But it can be argued that crime IS increasing, as the experts commit more crime.
