Maurizio Fiasco comments on recent violence in Milan

Sociologist Maurizio Fiasco identified two main failures regarding the recent violence involving mostly minors in Milan. According to Agenzia SIR and RomaSette, Fiasco described the unrest as a sign of failure in both intelligence and social responsibility.

Fiasco stated that the first failure involved intelligence and prevention police services. He argued these agencies failed to identify networks that used technology and expertise to direct the anger and resentment of young people toward violence in an environment that does not naturally produce it.

The second failure, Fiasco said, belongs to all adults responsible for the development of young people. He claimed there was a failure to recognize the visible signs of frustration and suffering among youth, which resulted in a lack of responsibility from adults to address their distress.
