The Latin American Association will present the next seminar, "U.S. Drug Policy and Organized Crime," in a series that offers the Latin American viewpoint on the drug-war at 7:30 tonight in 101 Kern.

Alan Block, professor of administration of justice, and Bruce Bullington, professor of criminal justice, will speak. An open discussion will follow.

Block and Bullington will share the lecture time, with Block focusing on organized crime both in the United States and abroad and Bullington addressing the U.S. drug policy and its effects.

Bullington said he is very critical of the U.S. policy.

"It's going to be very controversial," said Daniel Waksman, co-organizer of the seminar.
