Camorra mafia has 3,600 members including 15 of the 30 most wanted men. This mafia focuses more in drugs, prostitution and various businesses. Italy’s law enforcement has being changing and they are becoming tougher on crime. Since the prime minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi there has been15 arrests of the Esposito mafia and who’s members are in the 30 most wanted men.

The public are starting to feel safe and give the law enforcement tips because they want to feel more secure and the prime minister is working hard to accomplish that. The current government is telling the public that they will be building new prisons or use old prisons on the islands around the country, this gives the public a sense of safety because the government is fighting crime and looking for places to put the mafia when they arrest them.
