Legislation expressly aimed at combating mafia-type crimes in the Italian criminal system has long represented a specific and distinctive set of rules, comprising provisions of criminal law, procedural criminal law and penitentiary law, and including provisions of administrative and civil law of a more preventive kind. However, the law constitutes only one aspect of the complex Italian anti-mafia policy, which indeed results from the combination of several factors, such as human losses, political choices, legislative solutions, evolving case law and reactions of the civil society. In the international arena, among the multiple actors engaged at various levels in the fight against organised crime, the Italian position is characterised not only by the development of specific legal provisions concerning this area, but also by the widespread and active presence in the civil society of citizens, groups and associations committed to encouraging and promoting behaviours opposing the pervasive control of mafia organisations over a territory.
