Abstract

Maritime piracy and armed robbery is a crime that has been increasing recently, and this is not unknown in the countries of the Pacific coast in South America. The objective of this study was to understand the perception of these criminal acts by workers in the maritime industry who work at Bahía del Callao, in Peru. A Likert scale was developed with 20 items considering the factors related to the perception of governability, governance, economic impact, the existence of piracy and armed robbery in Bahía del Callao and, finally, maritime protection. Two items were also formulated to determine the perception of whether criminal acts in Bahía del Callao should be considered piracy, and whether the residents of the port of Callao was aware of the existence of these acts. Results showed a weak perception regarding governability, governance, and maritime protection. There is a perception that these criminal acts do have an economic impact, that the population knows little about these criminal acts and that the crimes committed in Bahía del Callao should also be considered as piracy. Finally, according to the case study, to combat this crime, not only should entities related to the maritime industry be considered, but also those that are related to coastal activities and especially seafarers.
