  • Mafia Motifs in Andrea Camilleri's Detective
    MAFIA MOTIFS IN ANDREA CAMILLERI’S DETECTIVE MONTALBANO NOVELS: FROM THE CULTURE AND BREAKDOWN OF OMERTÀ TO MAFIA AS A SCAPEGOAT FOR THE FAILURE OF STATE Adriana Nicole Cerami A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures (Italian). Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Dino S. Cervigni Amy Chambless Roberto Dainotto Federico Luisetti Ennio I. Rao © 2015 Adriana Nicole Cerami ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Adriana Nicole Cerami: Mafia Motifs in Andrea Camilleri’s Detective Montalbano Novels: From the Culture and Breakdown of Omertà to Mafia as a Scapegoat for the Failure of State (Under the direction of Ennio I. Rao) Twenty out of twenty-six of Andrea Camilleri’s detective Montalbano novels feature three motifs related to the mafia. First, although the mafia is not necessarily the main subject of the narratives, mafioso behavior and communication are present in all novels through both mafia and non-mafia-affiliated characters and dialogue. Second, within the narratives there is a distinction between the old and the new generations of the mafia, and a preference for the old mafia ways. Last, the mafia is illustrated as the usual suspect in everyday crime, consequentially diverting attention and accountability away from government authorities. Few critics have focused on Camilleri’s representations of the mafia and their literary significance in mafia and detective fiction. The purpose of the present study is to cast light on these three motifs through a close reading and analysis of the detective Montalbano novels, lending a new twist to the genre of detective fiction.

  • 1 638 Homicides Occurring in Buffalo: 1902-1936
    1 638 Homicides Occurring in Buffalo: 1902-1936 Current Chart: 5/28/2013 The following table includes all of the homicides reported by the Buffalo Police from 1902 to 1936. An exact transcription is replicated from the yearly Annual Report Board of Police. These reports were submitted after the year had ended which allowed the police to often include information generated after the arrest. In 1927, there were two additional categories, “officers shot by crooks” and “persons shot by police.” Two of the latter resulted in fatalities. These have been included in the table. Additional information, found from other sources, follows the information supplied by the police. That information is in italics. The homicides are listed in the following manner. Before the date, a number from 1 to 638 has been placed in bold type. The date listed is when the incident that caused the homicide occurred. In a small number of incidents the death occurred on a later date. If more than one homicide occurred during the same incident, each is counted. After some of the numbers, letters appear, capitalized in bold type. If there is nothing in bold after the number, then none of the conditions mentioned below occurred. The following abbreviations have been included: HS-Homicide Suicide: The perpetrator committed suicide after killing one or more people. AS-Attempted Suicide: The perpetrator attempted to commit suicide. LEO-Law Enforcement Officer related: Either an officer was murdered or one or more citizens was killed by the police. E-Executed: The convicted murderer was put to death for the listed murder.

  • Sociology Fights Organised Crime: the Story of the Chicago Area Project
    SGOC STUDYING GROUP ON ORGANISED CRIME https://sgocnet.org Sociology Fights Organised Crime: The Story of the Chicago Area Project Original article Sociology Fights Organised Crime: The Story of the Chicago Area Project Robert Lombardo* Abstract: This article studies the Chicago Area Project (CAP). Specifically, it studies the work of CAP in three of Chicago’s Italian immigrant communities: the Near North Side, the Near West Side, and the Near Northwest Side during the early 1900s. This article argues that the work of CAP prevented many young people from pursuing a life of organised adult crime and that research conducted in these communities has provided information crucial to our understanding of crime and delinquency including support for both social disorganisation and differential social organisation theory. The data for this research comes from published sources, newspaper accounts, and the CAP archives located in the special collections libraries of the University of Illinois, Chicago and the Chicago History Museum. The findings indicate that much of what we know about combating delinquency areas and the cultural transmission of delinquent values is based upon research conducted in Chicago’s Italian neighbourhoods, yet there is no mention of the Italian community’s efforts to fight juvenile delinquency in the scholarly literature, nor is there a recognition that the presence of adult criminality was a necessary element in Clifford Shaw’s original characterisation of social disorganisation theory.

  • A Genealogy of Gangs in Chicago
    A Genealogy of Gangs in Chicago Bringing the State back into Gang Research Global Gangs: A Comparative Perspective University of Minnesota Press Forthcoming Originally presented at the Global Gangs Conference, Geneva, Switzerland, May 2009 John M. Hagedorn University of Illinois-Chicago Reading over the chapters in this volume is like taking a journey not only through the world of gangs, but also the different ways we understand them. It was my main purpose in writing A World of Gangs to challenge the existing criminological paradigm for understanding gangs and suggest that we need to think about gangs differently. This book makes solid contributions toward that goal. Over more than decade of studying Chicago gangs, I’ve found the classic ecological lens to be too narrow and often leads us away from making a substantive critique of political and institutional arrangements. Rather than a nose-to-the-playground focus on the processes that teenagers go through to form and maintain a gang, this essay argues for a much broader historical and political stance. In Chicago, I’ve found that one key to understanding the persistence or institutionalized character of gangs are long-standing practices of police abuse, racism, and corrupt machine politics. I’ve found it helpful to replace the ecological frame with a concept from the study of the mafia, Salvatore Lupo’s notion of “polygenesis” (2009, 26). Lupo argues that the Sicilian mafia cannot be understood without grasping the multiple threads of structure and agency, particularly rampant state corruption. This essay applies Lupo’s approach to examine the history of gangs in Chicago.

If it’s not Opinion Summaries forgotten, it’s undeveloped. And even if developed to some extent, it’s April through June, 2021 underdeveloped. Page 12 That area is litigation under the Arizona Constitution. Trial Results April through June, 2021 Attorneys do a fine job of litigating the U.S. Constitution but often fail to Page 47 develop a persuasive separate argument for why the Arizona Upcoming Events Constitution provides greater protection. Page 49 One reason for this failure is the lack of a method. No Arizona court has set forth a process for analyzing our state Constitution. As a result, attorneys are often left arguing in the dark. The goal of this article is to fill that gap and propose a method for litigating claims under the Arizona Constitution. While reasonable minds may differ on what makes a persuasive claim under the state Constitution, this method has two benefits. First, it is grounded in Washington case law. Because Arizona looks to Washington cases for guidance on constitutional issues (as will be discussed below), any argument developed using this approach has a solid foundation. Second, the approach is relatively comprehensive. No approach will ever cover all bases, but the approach proposed herein will cover most. for THE DEFENSE July 2021 Volume 31, Issue 2, Pg.

  • Anthony Gizzo 104 West 67Th Street Kansas City, Missouri Gizzo Was In
    [page 1] Anthony Gizzo 104 West 67th Street Kansas City, Missouri Gizzo was in the bookmaking business at 1009 Broadway in an operation called the Coates House, from 1946 or 1947 until about the time Binaggio was killed. Gizzo had 25% of the business, Binaggio had 25%, and the other 50% was divided between three other partners. They took bets on football, baseball, and basketball. Odds for football and odds for other sporting events from various places throughout the country were received by telephone. After Binaggio's death, Gizzo opened another bookmaking establishment called the Gizzo News Service at the same address. Before the Coates House, Gizzo and Binaggio had other bookmaking businesses together. From 1940 to 1946 Gizzo had the agency for Canadian Ace Beer. In this agency he was associated with Charles Binaggio, with Binaggio's chauffeur, Nick Pana, and a man by name of Figgebust. In 1937 Gizzo had the Schlitz agency for Kansas City. In this he was associated with Charlie Carolla, who was convicted for bootlegging in 1949 with Gargotta and with Lococo. They also had a soda pop business known as Glendale Soda Pop. In 1939 Carolla went to jail for an income tax violation and Greenberg sent Figgebust to Kansas City to take over. Figgebust had both Schlltz and Canadian Ace and Gizzo went to work with him as a salesman. It was Gizzo's job to sell the beer. Gizzo discussed his own employment personally with Greenberg in Chicago. Gizzo had known Greenberg for some time, having met him in Chicago. When Carolla was convicted, Gizzo and the other stock holders told Greenberg they wanted to sell out and Figgebust was provided by Greenberg as the person who would buy their stock.

  • Abuse to Acceptance: Cleveland's Italian Community from 1880-1920
    Abuse to Acceptance: Cleveland’s Italian Community from 1880-1920 Isabel Robertson Senior Honors Thesis Presented to the Department of History Weinberg College of Arts and Science Northwestern University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Honors Degree in History May 4, 2017 Advisor: Henry Binford Seminar Director: Edward Muir ii Copyright © 2017 by Isabel Robertson iii Contents Abstract iv Acknowledgements v Abbreviations vi Introduction 1 Chapter I: “The foreign population grows by natural increase” 9 Chapter II: “The worst classes that come from Europe” 27 Chapter III: “With the passing of time this condition improves” 43 Conclusion 67 Appendix 71 Bibliography 74 iv Abstract Each successive wave of immigrants to America has faced prejudice founded in fear and uncertainty. Immigrants from Italy were particularly discriminated against in the early years of their arrival, from 1880 through 1920. They faced violence, racial slurs, and media attacks based on an unsubstantiated stereotype of criminality. This project set out to discern how the Italian immigrant community in America, through the case study of the city of Cleveland, evolved from being despised and racialized to being accepted as white Americans. Archival research, historical newspaper articles, and manuscripts such as letters and Americanization pamphlets largely inform the writing, in addition to secondary scholarship and memoirs. The paper lays out first the context in which Italian immigrants came to Cleveland and where in the ethnic fabric they fit, then the negative reputation and stereotyping that the Italian population faced, and finally the Americanization processes of the Italian community in Cleveland. Economic mobility, support from hometown societies, individual community leaders, and the racial dynamics of Italians’ white skin and subsequent discrimination against African Americans each contributed to the evolution of Americanization for Italian immigrants.
