RISCO MURILLO, Evelyn Milagros  and  HERRERA GARCIA, Joselin. CRIMES AGAINST PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN PERU, A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS WITH THE COUNTRIES OF COLOMBIA AND CHILE. Aula Virtual [online]. 2025, vol.6, n.13, e498.  Epub Aug 07, 2025. ISSN 2665-0398.  https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16762082.

The objective of the article is to analyze crimes against public administration in Peru, comparing them with the criminal systems of Colombia and Chile, in order to identify the similarities and differences in the classification of these crimes, as well as the problems in their application, and to evaluate the role of public policies in the prevention and punishment of these crimes in the three countries. In terms of methodology, the study is a systematic review article, developed under a qualitative approach, with a documentary analysis methodology using primary sources such as articles, books and legislation from various indexed databases such as Scopus, SciELO and open access databases. The results highlight that there are common challenges in the application of these norms, such as impunity, judicial inefficiency and lack of resources. And when examining the problems, it is identified that in Peru, transparency mechanisms are predominant and their effectiveness is questioned, while in Colombia and Chile they have implemented more comprehensive and collaborative strategies. It is concluded that the most common crimes in the three countries are corruption, embezzlement, influence peddling, bribery and embezzlement, which in Peru is punished with the use of the accessory penalty of disqualification from public administration, which is imposed in addition to the penalty of imprisonment. In Colombia, according to Law 599, Article 325 B punishes the crime of corruption. However, the criminal system is weakened by the duplication of jurisdictional functions such as military justice and ordinary courts. In Chile, there is a court specialized in corruption cases, which has a greater capacity to concentrate efforts in the prosecution of these complex cases. However, it has challenges in terms of its judicial autonomy.
