VIZCARRA, Sofía; BONILLA, Diana  e  PRADO, Bertha. Peruvian State’s Responses to Organized Crime in the 21st Century. CS [online]. 2020, n.31, pp.109-138. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i31.3710.

The fight against organized crime has become one of the priorities of the Peruvian State’s criminal policy. As a result, the Peruvian government has approved different measures to control this phenomenon. The aim of this paper is to describe, from a theoretical and empirical approach, the overall picture of the manifestations of organized crime in Peru and the State’s responses to control it. In this context, it is proposed to identify the existence, or not, of sufficient elements to configure an efficient general policy against organized crime. In order to do so, a legislation and records review was carried out, which allows to critically assess the progress and challenges of the State’s responses to face and sustain a more efficient policy of control and fight against criminal organizations in Peru.
