The research analyzes the legislation and jurisprudence on Transnational Organized Crime (TOC) in Latin America from two databases of the knowledge management portal Sharing Electronic Resources and Laws on Crime (SHERLOC) of the Office for Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The objective is to establish the treatment that 20 countries of Latin America give to 14 crimes through the adaptation of their norms and judicial decisions for the implementation of the Palermo Convention of the year 2000. The mixed methodology (quantitative-qualitative) allowed an approach from the descriptive and comparative statistics to the time that a hermeneutic analysis is carried out. © 2020, Institute of Latin American Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences.
