Sistema di Controllo Interno e prevenzione delle infiltrazioni della criminalità organizzata
2019
L’intensificarsi della diffusione delle infiltrazioni della criminalità organizzata in molteplici settori rende sempre più complessa per le aziende operanti con la pubblica amministrazione, la verifica dell’affidabilità, non solo economico-patrimoniale, dei soggetti (es., partner, clienti, fornitori) con i quali interagire. L’assenza di efficaci strumenti di prevenzione e contrastato dei tentativi di infiltrazioni della criminalità organizzata nella gestione aziendale può dar luogo a sanzioni interdittive, compromettendo in modo irreversibile l’immagine e il processo di creazione di valore e tutela degli stakeholders. Muovendo da tali presupposti, il presente lavoro è teso a verificare se i…
Determinants and consequences of the Anti-mafia entrepreneurial behavior: an empirical study on southern italian small-medium entreprises
2013
In this study we question what determinants lead firms to adopt anti-mafia behaviors and whether firms adopting anti-mafia behaviors “pay the piper” for their conduct through reduced financial performance. A sub-sample of 111 Southern Italian Small and Medium Enterprises whose entrepreneurs have publicly opposed the mafia extortion was initially selected. By adopting a matched-pair design, anti-mafia firms were subsequently matched against a sub-sample of neutral firms. Determinants of anti-mafia behavior were investigated by using a regression logistic model in order to regress the anti-mafia choice on a set of financial, demographic, governance, and control variables. Performance and fina…
Geographical Distribution of Crime: A Spatial Econometric Analysis
2007
Since long time social sciences have focused their attention on the causes of crime activities and this attention evolved over time. The sociological school emphasised the role of neighbourhood in delinquency activities, their stability over time and the existence of a negative relation between crimes and business centres (Shaw and McKay, 1942). This perspective stimulated the analysis of the existing nexus between crime activities and their geographical proximity. The economics approach moved differently. Since late 60s the economic analyses devoted their attention to the detection of mechanisms affecting the choice and behaviour of criminals (Becker, 1968; Stigler, 1970; Ehrlich, 1973). B…

Desistenza dal crimine, riflessività, servizio sociale: considerazioni su una ricerca
2019
This paper analyzes the phenomenon of desistance from crime by deviant young people in some Sicilian cities. In these paths, individual and relational reflexivity is central. This is an original study, which focuses on the importance of the role of social workers as actors capable of strengthening the socio-educational rehabilitation pathways of deviant young people. The author demonstrates how the presence of relational reflexivity in the intervention of social workers and social services contributes to (re)activating in young people an individual reflexivity (proactive, responsible, prosocial) capable of directing them towards objectives of personal growth and adult responsibility.

The Transformation of Female Roles in Cosa Nostra: A Diachronic and Comparative Analysis
2012
The chapter examines the transformation of the roles of women in Italian organized crime groups. Starting from a comparative analysis of the way in which – over time – the different manifestations of female power and male domination in certain organized crime groups (Cosa Nostra and others) have changed, we seek to understand what female power is in these contexts and what are the circumstances which make it legitimate and visible, what are the different modalities in which it expresses itself over time, in different locations and criminal contexts. The studies of women’s roles in mafias have shown how, over time, these have changed, particularly in terms of their ‘visibility’. Over the las…
Conversando com Gaspare Spatuzza, Un relato de vida, una história de chacinas
2018
Gaspare Spatuzza conviveu e compartilhou durante muito tempo com a lógica impiedosa e não raro cruel da Cosa Nostra, tornando-se chefe no mundo mafioso e ocupando papel significativo nos massacres da década de 1990. Preso em 1997, desde 2008 se declara arrependido e passa a ser um resoluto colaborador da justiça. Em seu testemunho direto e pulsante, coletado pela autora em local secreto, Spatuzza conta a história do jovem do subúrbio de Palermo atraído e cooptado pela máfia, e permite um mergulho nas complexidades envolvidas nesse percurso junto ao crime.
