Using in-depth field research and analysis of case studies, Mafia Violence: Political, Symbolic, and Economic Forms of Violence in Camorra Clans focuses attention on the phenomenon of violence performed by Italian organised crime groups, devoting specific attention to the Camorra, which has been responsible since the mid-1980s for almost half of all mafia homicides documented in Italy. The Camorra has acquired increased visibility at an international level due to its intense use of violence and high level of dangerousness, but until now, the study of the different forms of violence implemented by mafias has not received systematic attention at the scientific level. Hence, this book fills this gap by providing a both theoretical and empirical contribution toward the analysis of one of the most unknown – although highly visible and dangerous – dimension of mafias’ action. This collection of work by distinguished scholars provides a unique overview of the multifaceted characteristics of violence currently performed by mafia groups in Italy by focusing on specific actors – i.e., Camorra clans – but also other traditional mafia organisations such as Cosa Nostra and ’Ndrangheta; specific contexts – i.e., different territories and different markets, both legal and illegal; and specific practices and performances. Part I takes a diachronic and comparative perspective to provide an overview of mafias’ violence during the past 30 years, focusing on the three most prominent criminal organisations active in Italy: Camorra, Cosa Nostra, and ’Ndrangheta. Based on the outcomes of a major project carried out by a research group at the University of Naples Federico II from 2015 to 2017, Part II looks at the use of violence by Camorra clans, incorporating information from case studies, judicial files, law enforcement investigations, wiretappings, interviews with privileged observers, firsthand empirical data, and historical documents and social sciences literature. Using a multi-disciplinary approach drawing from criminology, sociology, history, anthropology, economics, political science, and geography, this book is essential reading for international researchers and practitioners interested in piecing together the full picture of modern organised crime.

The definition of organised crime has long been the object of lively debate, at national and international level. Sociological and legal analysis has not yet led to one definitive answer to the question of what exactly 'organised crime' means. Nonetheless, many instruments adopted both at international and national levels set forth special legal regimes designed to target criminal groups featuring a stable organisation, which are perceived as particularly dangerous to society. Therefore, identifying the notion of organised crime is crucial to establishing the scope of any legal instrument specifically designed for combating it. The aim of this book is to reassess the scope, the effectiveness and the overall coherence of existing definitions of organised crime, and to identify any need for a reconsideration of these definitions, specifically with reference to the EU legal order. It will be of interest to academics, practitioners and legislators working in the sphere of EU criminal law and of organised crime more generally.

Dall’“Onorata società” a Cosa nostra, la ricostruzione critica di uno dei più inquietanti fenomeni del nostro tempo Di mafie al mondo ce ne sono molte, ma è quella siciliana la mafia storica e la madre di tutte le altre. Per secoli ha alimentato la “Sicilia politica”; dopo l’unificazione nazionale è diventata parte integrante delle vicende del potere in Italia; dall’età dei padrini a quella dei boss, ha via via assunto rilievo internazionale intrecciandosi con le sorti del peggiore affarismo; infine si è addirittura innervata nelle più segrete e inquietanti operazioni “strategiche” dell’Occidente durante la guerra fredda. Il quadro degli eventi è tale da produrre un forte impatto sia sul lettore comune che sullo specialista: un grande affresco di potenti e poveracci, gattopardi e gabellotti, briganti e politici, notabili e preti, affaristi e narcotrafficanti, tangentisti e massoni. Non si tratta, dunque, di un impasto di cronache di criminalità, bensì di una densa materia politica e sociale. Analizzarla significa indagare su processi di cui è protagonista l’Italia intera nel sistema mondiale delle sue relazioni e alleanze. Da questa prospettiva, e pensando anche al filo che lega la mafia ai misteri della prima repubblica, si coglie il dramma dell’antimafia e la reale portata etico-politica della “rivolta legalitaria” dopo il crollo del muro di Berlino. Scrivere tutto questo da italiani, e ancor più da siciliani, è perlomeno imbarazzante, perché costringe a “processare” mentalità radicate e tradizioni di lungo periodo. Nel farlo l’autore controlla la passione civile con l’equanimità di giudizio, in una ricostruzione affascinante, che utilizza criticamente anche la cronaca, realizzando un’opera tra le più insolite e ardite della storiografia italiana contemporanea. Giuseppe Carlo Marino è professore ordinario di Storia Contemporanea nella Facoltà di Scienze politiche dell’Università di Palermo. Scrittore di storia assai precoce, formatosi all’ombra di Giovanni Spadolini, poi evolutosi su un itinerario culturale segnato dalla fedeltà alla lezione di Antonio Gramsci, si è dedicato in particolare allo studio dei rapporti tra potere e società in Italia. Collaboratore della RAI impegnato sul fronte dell’“uso pubblico” della storia, è autore di numerose opere tra le quali: La repubblica della forza, Eclissi del principe e crisi della storia, È veramente esistita la prima repubblica?, Biografia del Sessantotto e Le Generazioni italiane dall’Unità alla Repubblica. Con la Newton Compton, ha pubblicato anche Storia della mafia e La Sicilia delle stragi.

Within weeks of the Pearl Harbor attack and the declaration of war on the United States by Germany and Italy, US war plans included the defense of the East Coast and the invasion of Sicily. Here, Ezio Costanzo examines the many elements of this secret scenario, which included long-suppressed information about cooperation between the Mafia and the US Army. The results came in the aftermath of the invasion, during the new military government that gave many Mafia leaders important administrative positions. Seen from an Italian standpoint, the success of US forces is examined in detail and many questions are finally answered.

One of the more dangerous contemporary threats to the quality of life is the collaboration of the political establishment with the criminal underworld - the political-criminal nexus (PCN). This active partnership increasingly undermines the rule of law, human rights, and economic development in many parts of the world. States in transition are especially at risk. Despite the magnitude of the threat, there is little understanding of the security threats by the PCNs and how and why political-criminal relationships are formed and maintained. Menace to Society is the first attempt to develop an analytical framework for making generalizations about this contemporary scourge. Case studies of Colombia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Italy, Mexico, Nigeria, Russia and Ukraine, and the United States by leading scholars and practitioners included here answer such key questions as: How do PCNs get established? How is a PCN maintained, and destroyed? What do the participants want from each other in a PCN? What can be learned from those who have successfully countered the PCN? The findings indicate that political, economic, and cultural factors play a significant role in the formation and evolution of PCNs. When the institutions of the state are weak, as in Nigeria and Colombia, it is difficult for the state to prevent political-criminal collaboration. A lack of checks and balances, either from civil society or opposition political parties such as described in the cases of Mexico and Russia, is a key factor. Cultural patterns tend to facilitate this kind of collaboration. Markets and economics, too, bear on the PCN issue. The supply and demand for illegal goods and services, not only drugs, in many countries creates a market controlled by criminals who need political help to "run" their business. Menance to Society will be critical reading for security planners, foreign and military policymakers, and political scientists.

Relying on previously undisclosed confessions of former mafia members now cooperating with the police, Letizia Paoli provides a clinically accurate portrait of mafia behavior, motivations, and structure in Italy. The mafia, Paoli demonstrates, are essentially multifunctional ritual brotherhoods focused above all on retaining and consolidating their local political power base. A truly interdisciplinary work of history, politics, economics, and sociology, Mafia Brotherhoods reveals in dramatic detail the true face of one of the world's most mythologized criminal organizations.
