Abstract

….Our struggle showed that the law court is only one front in the campaign against violence and lawlessness. The other is culture. An image that occurred to me early in my own fight against the Mafia was of a cart with two wheels, one law enforcement and the other culture. If one wheel turned without the other, the cart would go in circles. If both turned together, the cart would go forward. So, at the same time as brave lawmen were dying in order to establish a rule of law, we were trying to rebuild a civic life (Orlando, p. 7)
