'''Peru''', officially the '''Republic of Peru''', is a country in western South America. It is bordered in the north by Ecuador and Colombia, in the east by Brazil, in the southeast by Bolivia, in the south by Chile, and in the south and west by the Pacific Ocean. Peru is a megadiverse country, with habitats ranging from the arid plains of the Pacific coastal region in the west to the peaks of the Andes mountains extending from the north to the southeast to the tropical Amazon basin rainforest in the east with the Amazon River. Peru has a population of over 32 million, and its capital and largest city is Lima. At 1,285,216 km2 (496,225 sq mi), Peru is the 19th largest country in the world and the third largest in South America. | |||
Peruvian territory was home to several cultures during the ancient and medieval periods. It has one of the longest histories of civilization of any country, tracing its heritage back to the 10th millennium BCE. Notable pre-colonial cultures and civilizations include the Caral–Supe civilization (the earliest civilization in the Americas and considered one of the cradles of civilization), the Nazca culture, the Wari and Tiwanaku empires, the Kingdom of Cusco, and the Inca Empire, the largest known state in the pre-Columbian Americas. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century. Charles V established a viceroyalty with the official name of the Kingdom of Peru, encompassing most of its South American territories, with its capital in Lima. Higher education started in the Americas with the official establishment of the National University of San Marcos in Lima in 1551. | |||
Peru formally proclaimed independence from Spain in 1821, and following the military campaigns of Bernardo O'Higgins, José de San Martín, and Simón Bolívar, as well as the decisive battle of Ayacucho, it completed its independence in 1824. In the ensuing years, the country first suffered from political instability until relative economic and political stability began due to the exploitation of guano that ended with the War of the Pacific (1879–1884). Throughout the 20th century, Peru grappled with political and social instability, including the internal conflict between the state and guerrilla groups interspersed with periods of economic growth. Implementation of Plan Verde shifted Peru towards neoliberal economics under the authoritarian rule of Alberto Fujimori and Vladimiro Montesinos in the 1990s, with the former's political ideology of Fujimori leaving a lasting imprint on the country's governance that continues today. The 2000s marked economic expansion and poverty reduction. Still, the subsequent decade revealed long-existing sociopolitical vulnerabilities, exacerbated by a political crisis instigated by Congress and the COVID-19 pandemic, precipitating unrest in 2022. | |||
The sovereign state of Peru is a representative democratic republic divided into 25 regions. Its main economic activities include mining, manufacturing, agriculture, fishing, and other growing sectors such as telecommunications and biotechnology. The country forms part of The Pacific Pumas, a political and economic grouping of countries along Latin America's Pacific coast that share common positive growth trends, stable macroeconomic foundations, improved governance, and an openness to global integration.

Spanking and Spanking Art in Peru
In the 20th century, school corporal punishment fell out of fashion and was gradually banned in many countries, a trend that continues until the present day.
As of May 2008, Peru permits corporal punishment in schools.

Peruvian JCP from Corpun.com
There is no official JCP in Peru and, as far as can be ascertained, no history of it at the national level. However, indigenous or local communities in some areas carry out whippings, notably in the northern region of Cajamarca. As in some other South American countries, these often have the tacit approval of the authorities, or at least little or no action is generally taken against those who carry them out.
This illustrated article on Aljazeera.com in July 2016 focuses on Cajamarca's local judicial system, or "rondas" (typically rendered in English as "rounds," but a better translation is probably "patrols"). It includes public or semi-public punishments with a stiff whip called a "binza" made from braided bull's pizzles.
Offenses so punished have included adultery, robbery or theft, brothelkeeping, and assault.
