Abstract
This chapter tries to combine the analysis of the Mafia with a critical criminology approach, focusing on Mafia and anti-Mafia as social constructs and discussing the flaws of both the anti-Mafia movements and of the penal system in fighting organised crime. In order to focus on the issue at hand, I face two problems. The first one relates to the importance of respecting the rights of defendants facing charges of Mafia connections. The second problem relates to the development of an anti-Mafia movement. I argue that critical criminology can help a true anti-Mafia out of these ambiguities, and start our fight over the real organised crime-related issues, such as the legalisation of drugs.
