Abstract
Research on police corruption and misconduct has evolved markedly over the past three decades. Despite this, there is a scarcity of studies examining why some corrupt police officers successfully conceal their wrongdoing while others do not. Drawing upon the case of Genaro García Luna, Mexico’s former top law enforcement official, this article examines how high-ranking corrupt police officers manage to evade exposure. Our analysis employed David Gibson’s theory on the social organization of deception. Based on witness testimony from García Luna’s 2023 trial in New York, we investigated the underlying mechanisms that served to conceal his decade-long participation in a transnational criminal network despite scrutiny from both the Mexican and US governments and media. We propose refinements to Gibson’s model that enhance our understanding of the factors that contribute toward successful concealment, by distinguishing between environmental and proactive barriers to exposure. These refinements improve our understanding of the mechanisms that allow corrupt senior-level police officers to conceal their crimes.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
