"The “fight against the mafia” (everyone knows this, or should know it) cannot be carried out solely through police and judicial repression. Focusing the strategy to combat mafia crime exclusively on technical investigations, and not also on political and cultural aspects, is inevitably doomed to failure in the long run. The actions of the police and magistrates, however methodical, committed, and professional they may be, can only have a profound impact if they are complemented by a “revival” of the social context. Keeping our guard up, mobilizing public opinion, raising awareness, and isolating the mafia culture are absolutely essential complements to investigative action."
