The present bibliographical research aims to present the types of corruption practiced against the Public Administration. From this study, it is verified that the fight against corruption depends on the maturing of a democratic conscience that makes possible the popular participation in the monitoring of the activities developed by the Public Adminis- tration in all spheres of the Power of the Federative Republic of Brazil aiming at the continuous supervision of the institutions public policies. Currently, there are several actions, institutions, and groups involved, including at the international level, to combat corruption. The corrupt activities are multi- plied, due to the difficulty of investigation and proper punishment of the criminal acts, besides the little popular participation in the process of control of the public administrations. Finally, it is considered important that all control institutions participate in an integrated manner with the participation of the population in the fight against corruption.
