With this work we want to is aimed at observing how the priority given to the group over the individual in mafia systems results in the clans’ sectarian structure, generating resilient criminal networks. This will be investigated by comparative analysis of the network of a mafia clan and the network of a non-mafia association. In particular, through different techniques of identification of relevant subjects in the networks, it will «test» the robustness of the two networks, removing those nodes that may represent weak points of the network. The aim is to of demonstrate that more robust networks, such as mafia networks, are configured for a different distribution and characterization of bridge nodes.
