19 PSU-LV CRIMJ students visiting Italy during summer 2023

Students learn about origins, history of organized crime during Italy trip

Films like “The Godfather” and “Goodfellas” have created indelible stereotypes about those involved in organized crime. This summer, 19 Penn State students learned the real history behind the Mafia during “Organized Crime in Film and Society,“ a three-week course taught on site in different locations in Palermo and Rome, Italy.
