Scorsese and ciccogol are both spot on with their posts. I always say Camorra are more gang-like than the other mafias. Those slums in Scampia are horrible and disgusting living conditions, but if you want the privilege of living there, you pay to the Camorra. They will have your lights and electric shut off, if you don't pay to them. It's horrible.

As far as death penalty goes...first off..it'll never happen, being that Italy is the most Catholic country in the world. Second...who are you putting to death? An entire region, ie Sicily? They're under every rock and everywhere. And last..the most heinous murders are against each other. They do Italy a favor, actually, by killing off each other.
