Abstract

Between the years 2014 and 2015, one out of every three or four civilian firearms seized from criminals was registered in the National Superintendency for the Control of Security Services, Firearms, Ammunition and Explosives for Civilian Use (Sucamec). This type of arms causes more than 50% of deaths in Peru. In accordance with the aforementioned, by reviewing the legal and institutional framework regarding the control of firearm possession, it is determined that the inefficiency of such control is due to the lack of a public multisector policy.
