Abstract

The objective of this research was to determine whether there is compliance with the principle of necessary imputation in crimes against public administration in the form of corruption of public officials in the judicial district of Apurímac. Methodology: The research follows a quantitative approach. It is a basic, descriptive-correlational level study, using the inductive-deductive method and a non-experimental design. The population consisted of 110 justice operators, and the sampling was non-probabilistic. The techniques used included observation and surveys, and the instrument was a questionnaire. To obtain the results, descriptive and inferential statistics were used with the SPSS24 statistical program. Conclusions: It was determined, according to Spearman's Rho correlation statistic, that the correlation is positive (r= .846) and significant with a p-value of .000 < α = 0.05. Consequently, the null hypothesis was rejected, and the research hypothesis was accepted, indicating a significant correlation between the principle of necessary imputation and crimes in public administration in the form of corruption of officials in the judicial district of Apurímac.
