This book focuses on the Italian mafia organization, 'Ndrangheta, and its pervasive influence on the region of Calabria. While the majority of the criminal activity is committed by a small percentage of the population, the entire region suffers from the mafia presence. The goal of the book is to expose the inner workings of 'Ndrangheta to understand its power structure and methods, highlight the negative impact of 'Ndrangheta on the majority of innocent Calabrian citizens, and develop strategies to dismantle the organization by identifying and targeting its vulnerabilities. Ultimately, the book aims to provide a criminologically-grounded roadmap for effectively combating 'Ndrangheta and liberating Calabria from its grip.
Vincent C. Figliomeni is subject matter expert (Cultore Della Materia) in cultural sociology at the Università Magna Grecia (University of Catanzaro) and Director of Francesco Figliomeni Social Science Research Center.
