It seems that various situations of the victims evolve in this way, whichdemonstrates that many of them are in possession of competence, intelligence, ofresources at the high relationship level (the “social capital” of which we havespoken).The arrival of help structures (for example those delegated, in these last years,to the management of social protection, ex Art. 18), results in being the otherpossible type of trajectory. We have talked and will talk again about this in theconcluding part of this chapter.In this environment it is evident that both the potential of the instrument (beingthat the Nigerian nationality is that most present in the statistics relative toindividual projects under way, at least based on available data), as well as itslimitations, if one does not consider the specific characteristics of the varioustargets and the differences which denote the various criminal organisations, areemphasised.

We will start with the instruments of control and repressionto pass on to the social policies.
