Il paradigma mafioso dentro il modello della criminalità organizzata
2021
Interrogarsi sul metodo mafioso significa fare i conti con le differenti definizioni che della mafia sono state fornite, in un’ottica che non può che essere comparativa e diacronica. Non si possono, infatti, ignorare né le differenti declinazioni del modello organizzativo criminale nei diversi contesti territoriali, né la sua evoluzione nel tempo, né le modifiche intervenute con l’ampliarsi dello scenario internazionale e con la nascita delle cosiddette “nuove mafie”. Occorre, quindi, verificare gli elementi di mutazione riscontrati nelle maggiori organizzazioni criminali mafiose che operano in Italia; da una parte, spingendo l’attenzione verso gli scenari internazionali e, dall’altra, rile…

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…

Profiling a spectrum of mental job demands and their linkages to employee outcomes
2020
Substance abuse, conduct disorder (CD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are all known risk factors for developing aggressive behaviors, criminality, other psychiatric comorbidity and substance use disorders (SUD). Since early age of onset is important for aggravating the impact of several of these risk factors, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether young adult violent offenders with different patterns of early onset externalizing problems (here: substance use < age 15, ADHD, CD) had resulted in different criminality profiles, substance use problem profiles and psychiatric comorbidity in young adult age. A mixed-method approach was used, combining a varia…
