      Italy has become much safer over the last thirty years.

      In the early 1990s, there were around 3 homicides per 100,000 people every year. That was one of the highest rates in Europe. Since then, rates have fallen by more than 80%.

      Crime stopping or property of an ageing population?

      We’re too broke and too old to be killing each other.

      Italy really got their shit together

      Pretty tame when compared to New Orleans homicide rate of 41šŸ’€

      I’d say this is the effect of the EU and European collaboration in fighting organized crime and money laundering. Organized crime in Italy is much smaller and weaker today than in the 80s-90s.

      But it’s so easier to look at microvariations each year to paint a dark picture…

    7. There was a police crackdown in the 1990s because of the murder of 2 judges, by the Italian Mafia, while they have persisted they are at nowhere near the capacity they were at. This may have had a noticable effect on the homicide rate.

      Same throughout the EU no? Despite what people think things are a lot safer than 30 years ago

      b-but I thought that the evil migrants were causing the homicide rate to skyrocket and italy had become a war zone… /j

      People will look at that tiny uptick at the end and conclude that immigration has turned the country into an unliveable crime ridden hellhole compared to the peaceful and utopian 90s.

    11. Two main reasons.
      Organized crime went white collar and population is getting older and older.
      Plus the usual suspects like phasing out leaded gasoline.

      Totally beats the “migrants causing crime” narrative. It used to be ethnic italian mafias doing the crime, and as those declined in power and influence, murders also dropped. The migrants aren’t causing a crime spike.

      Thanks to demographic decline, there’s no one to kill anymore šŸ™‚

      Until the rise of illegal immigration which you can see at the end of the graph.

      Most of those deaths were related to mafia wars in the south. After a big clash against the state and an infamous compromise reached between the Italian government and the mafia big bosses, they realized that it was much safer and lucrative to keep their business out of the spotlight. This worked both to keep violence off the streets as well as to make them extremely rich, powerful and safe from police

      Italians invented one of the most efficient systems for fighting organized crime where lower ranking members can choose cooperate and have their sentences reduced and even entirely forgiven in exchange. The only way to eliminate such group is by witnesses from the inside. Slovak police managed to eliminate our mafia by copying this system. And this system was also a massive success in locking up Fico’s cronies before he returned to power.

      I blame the immigrants not assimilating to the local culture.

      Italy is a lot older now than it was 30 years ago. Young people leave. The demographic crisis explains a lot, as young people are responsible for most violent crime.

      I asked a guy that used to live in the center of Monopoli, which was a slum 30 years ago, what happened?

      He said “people just calmed down”.

      Seems that the new generations found ways to live life without resorting to the mafia so much.
