Camorra e mafie di mezzo in alcuni recenti contributi delle scienze sociali
2018
Interacting with the lively debate on petitions and the various forms of appeal to the authorities written in different spatial and temporal contexts, the article deals with the analysis of a group of “discrimination” requests addressed to the General Directorate for Demography and Race by a sample of female Italian citizens qualified as belonging to the “Jewish race” in Autumn 1938. Women’s petitions represented a minority within the broader corpus of requests for derogation from the Anti-Semitic Fascist legislation. They are nonetheless a source of great importance, both to illuminate the relevance of the “discrimination” procedures from the persecuted point of view, and to shed fresh lig…
Visibilità delle figure femminili dell'universo mafioso: un'indagine attraverso la rassegna stampa nell'arco di un ventennio
2003
Un utile strumento di analisi attraverso cui esplorare l'evoluzione nel tempo del ruolo delle figure femminili nella criminalità organizzata, è quello che si avvale della rassegna stampa tematica, raccolta nel periodo compreso tra il 1980 e il 2001. La scelta del periodo da prendere in esame - strettamente connessa agli orientamenti più generali del progetto di ricerca e, comunque, vincolata dalla necessità di delimitare l'ambito di reperimento e raccolta del materiale - è stata guidata dalla considerazione che proprio il ventennio compreso tra gli anni '80 e i nostri giorni - come emerge dalle indagini e dalle riflessioni finora prodotte in questo settore - sia da ritenere il più interessa…
Competenza territoriale e indagini collegate in materia di associazioni di tipo mafioso
2013
Il collegamento delle indagini costituisce un modulo investigativo inedito. La disciplina madre si rintraccia nella norma di cui all'art. 371 c.p.p.. Quanto ai delitti in materia di associazione di stampo mafioso è stata prevista però in fase di indagini una disciplina specifica all'art. 371 bis c.p.p., predisponendosi un modulo investigativo ad hoc, che assurge a criterio primus inter pares rispetto a quello generale. Il contributo analizza la disciplina in particolare della competenza territoriale e delle indagini collegate, con un ultimo sguardo ai profili e i limiti di Eurojust.

Measuring the presence of organized crime across Italian provinces: a sensitivity analysis
2020
AbstractThe existing literature identifies different indicators to construct organized crime indices and places equal importance to different concepts of organized crime. This paper examines the sensitivity of organized crime across Italian provinces when different set of indicators and weights are used to combine crime indicators. Our findings suggest that there is a remarkable variation in the distribution of organized crime across Italian provinces based on the choice of indicators and the importance given to different crime indicators. It is also found that the relationship of organized crime with socioeconomic and political factors varies depending on the normative choices made in the …
Exploring the determinants of anti-mafia entrepreneurial behaviour: an empirical study on southern Italian SMEs
2017
This study analyses organized crime from an economic perspective and highlights the crucial role of extortion in mafia activities. From an economic viewpoint, we debate the conditions that lead companies to resist mafia extortion. To study the reactions of firms to extortion, we adopt an institutional perspective and consider the contribution of different theories in the socially responsible behaviour and organized crime literature, in an attempt to understand this complex entrepreneurial behaviour better. A sample of 116 southern Italian SMEs, whose entrepreneurs have publicly opposed mafia extortion, was selected. By adopting a matched-pair design, anti-mafia firms were subsequently match…
Sicily and Calabria Extortion Database
2015
The Sicily and Calabria Extortion Database was extracted from police and court documents by the Palermo team of the GLODERS — Global Dynamics of Extortion Racket Systems — project which has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007–2013) under grant agreement no. 315874 (http://www.gloders.eu, “Global dynamics of extortion racket systems”). The data are provided as an SPSS file with variable names, variable labels, value labels where appropriate, missing value definitions where appropriate. Variable and value labels are given in English translation, string texts are quoted from the Italian originals as we thought that a translation could bias the informa…
The pentiti of the Sicilian mafia in the 1930s
2013
Mussolini had declared that Fascism, through the anti-mafia campaign entrusted to Cesare Mori, prefect of Palermo, in the second half of the 1920s, had conclusively liberated Sicily from the mafia. However, from the early 1930s a new deterioration of public order on the island was evident, and the regime was forced to launch a second, and much less publicised, repression of this phenomenon. In the course of its careful investigations the body given responsibility for pursuing this repression, the Ispettorato Generale di Pubblica Sicurezza per la Sicilia, compiled a series of reports, including the Processo verbale di denunzia relating to the area around Palermo. With a level of detail never…
Un ponte ancora aperto? Alcune note sull’emigrazione siciliana verso gli Stati Uniti durante il fascismo
2018
During the 1920s, after the promulgation by US government of the Quota Acts, and after the new fascist policies about emigration in Italy (1926), we register a dramatic decrease of the transatlantic migration flows from Italy to the US. Focusing on the case of Sicily, one of the region which had sent more emigrants to the US during the Great Migration, this essay analyses the issue of migratory waves from Southern Italy to the US during the Fascism. In fact, despite of the reshaping of migration policies, some traditional networks between Sicily and America are still working. For example, some new researches about transnational Mafia reveal the existence of dynamic Sicilian-American network…
