Much of the literary production on the Camorra focuses on the aspects of military control of the territory and on predatory activities in politics and economics. Less attention is paid to the social reproductive factors of organized crime groups. The aspects of mutuality and solidarity within the Camorra have never received a systematic and thorough observation. This research instead proposes the analysis of the elements of legitimacy and consensus of the Camorra groups in the territories in which they are established. Welfare and its double is a work that is articulated through a rich system that uses quantitative and ethnographic methodologies: 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approach located at the meeting point between sociology and anthropology in the analysis of social policies, which uses unpublished and difficult judicial documents availability.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 field work in the Caserta area has made it possible to decipher the forms of social assistance present: public and mafia ones. The result is the panorama of a criminal group that ensures 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 conditioned by the Mafia presence that new forms of social struggle are born. It is here, in fact - where criminal infiltrations affect the procurement of welfare services - that the most innovative social actions in defense of the weakest categories were born.

The philanthropic impulse to engage in charitable work and to encourage economic "improvement" was sharpened in eighteenth-century Ireland as Irish Protestants became increasingly aware of the threatthat social problems, such as poverty, disease and criminality, posed to their rule. One response to this threat was the establishment of a number of voluntary societies which sought to address the different problems plaguing Ireland. This book examines a number of these voluntary societies, including those concerned with promoting education, supporting hospitals, and improving agriculture and manufacturing. It shows how these movements differed from earlier efforts in organisation, method and aims and demonstrates the connection between religiously motivated charities, Enlightenment-inspiredscientific societies and the Irish government. It pays particular attention to the role of women, both as supporters of, and objects of, charity. It argues that, together, these movements aspired to purge Ireland of what they saw as destabilising factors that weakened the Anglo-Irish state. Improvers reflected Enlightenment-era optimism about the perfectibility of society and saw themselves as serving the interests and aspirations of the nation. Karen Sonnelitter is Assistant Professor of History at Siena College, Loudonville, New York. She completed her doctorate at Purdue University.

In many ways, the European welfare state constituted a response to the new forms of social fracture and economic turbulence that were born out of industrialization--challenges that were particularly acute for groups whose integration into society seemed the most tenuous. Covering a range of national cases, this volume explores the relationship of weak social ties to poverty and how ideas about this relationship informed welfare policies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By focusing on three representative populations--neglected children, the homeless, and the unemployed--it provides a rich, comparative consideration of the shifting perceptions, representations, and lived experiences of social vulnerability in modern Europe.
