Violence is a big part of the drug business. It's not just random; it serves different purposes. In Italy, mafias use violence in many ways. They control the drug market and also sell drugs. This violence happens at different levels. It can be at the street level, within the country, or even across borders.

Most of the violence is about control. It's not just about selling drugs. It's about who's in charge. This is especially true at the street level. The mafias kill each other to keep their power. They also kill people who are not in their group. This is to scare others and keep control.

The mafias are smart. They use violence in a planned way. They don't just kill randomly. They kill to send a message. They kill to keep their business running. This is how they control the drug market. They use violence to govern and to trade.

The mafias are also very organized. They have different levels. They have people who sell drugs on the street. They have people who sell drugs within the country. They have people who sell drugs across borders. Each level has its own violence. Each level has its own rules.

The mafias are not just in Italy. They work with other groups. They work with groups from other countries. This makes the drug business even bigger. It makes the violence even more complex. The mafias have to control their own people. They also have to control the people they work with.

The mafias are a big problem. They cause a lot of violence. They control the drug market. They make a lot of money. But they also cause a lot of harm. They hurt people. They hurt communities. They hurt the country.

The government tries to stop the mafias. But it's not easy. The mafias are very powerful. They have a lot of money. They have a lot of people. They have a lot of weapons. The government has to be smart. It has to be strong. It has to be brave.

The mafias are not going away. They will keep using violence. They will keep controlling the drug market. But the government can fight back. It can use the law. It can use the police. It can use the army. It can use the people. Together, they can stop the mafias. They can make Italy safer.
