Much of the Camorra's literary production focuses on the aspects of military control of the territory and on predatory activities in politics and the economy. Less attention is paid to the social reproduction factors of organized crime groups. The aspects of mutuality and internal solidarity in the champs have never received a systematic and in-depth observation. This research instead proposes the analysis of the elements of legitimation and consent of the Camorra groups in the territories in which they are located. The welfare and its double is a work that is articulated through a rich system that uses quantitative and ethnographic methods: an approach located at the meeting point between sociology and anthropology in the analysis of social policies, which uses unpublished and difficult judicial documents availability. A demanding fieldwork in the Caserta area has in fact made it possible to decipher the forms of social assistance present: public and mafia ones. What emerges is the panorama of a criminal whole that ensures an incredible protection against affiliates and their families, which competes with the protections offered by public welfare. However, the results of this study show that it is precisely in the territories most affected by the mafia presence that new forms of social struggle are born. It is here, in fact - where criminal infiltrations affect welfare service contracts - that the most innovative social actions were born in defense of the weakest categories.
