As a hispanic individual who is first generation in the United States with my parents being immigrants, this helped me understand more about my culture, and also about what is around me, criminal and non criminal.

As a Mexican-American, and have had experience living on the border, I learned into depth about the Mexican culture, and narco culture that I had not known before. I feel confident for future investigations to able to identify narco culture and being able to attach it to certain criminal activity.
