The media is full of reports written about organized crime and the drug cartels penetrating Latin American
police forces, courts, and prisons. However, more information has surfaced indicating that the same
permeation by organized drug traffickers is also taking place in the US criminal justice system. Drug

to become susceptible to such corruption? Research these questions by reviewing professional literature
and media reports.
