The Mafia underwent a revival in the late 1940s, but in the 1980s and 1990s, a series of "gang
wars", which were mutually destructive, led to many prominent Mafia members being murdered.
Since the 1990s, by largely abandoning their traditional "code of honour" - which, for example, did not tolerate common crime or violence against women and children - the Mafia has begun to lose the acceptance of the public. Moreover, with public outrage over the notorious Mafia assassinations of two leading Italian anticrime prosecutors in 1992, the Italian authorities began an aggressive campaign against them.
