Cosa Nostra gets all the publicity and movies, but the Camorra and the 'Ndrangheta are older (16-1700s) and more dangerous. 'Ndrangheta doesn't let anyone in without blood ties, which keeps turncoats and information about the group to a bare minimum. Camorra was featured in John Wick 2, the D'Antonio siblings.

The principal difference with the Mafia is in recruitment methods. The 'Ndrangheta recruits members on the criterion of blood relationships resulting in an extraordinary cohesion within the family clan that presents a major obstacle to investigation. Sons of 'ndranghetisti are expected to follow in their fathers' footsteps, and go through a grooming process in their youth to become giovani d'onore (boys of honour) before they eventually enter the ranks as uomini d'onore (men of honour).
