Social Network Analysis (SNA) is a multidisciplinary field dedicated to uncovering patterns within interpersonal interactions. Within this framework, SNA has been utilized extensively to elucidate the structures of criminal networks, identifying key players, subgroups, and vulnerabilities. This paper explores the efficacy of seven disruption strategies applied to real Mafia networks using SNA methodologies. Three interventions focus on actors possessing significant social capital, while three target those with substantial human capital. These strategies are compared to each other and random node removal, shedding light on their relative effectiveness in disrupting criminal networks
