Sam Logan has spent three decades studying OCGs (Organized Criminal Groups) in Latin America in order to understand how they are structured, how they operate, how and why they expand, and how they differentiate themselves.  His understanding of OCGs has led to some startling revelations of their immense reach, sophistication and business accumen.  In some parts of the region, OCGs are a defacto local government, whereby private sector companies may have no choice but to cooperate with them.
