Why are cartels (seemingly) more violent to familes and "civilians" than the mafia?

11 Upvotes

In the last few months I've watched a bunch of mafia shows and movies such as Sopranos, Layer Cake, Goodfellas, We Still Kill the Old Way, and more. I just finished the six Narcos seasons and am now watching El Chapo.

One thing I find interesting is the seeming disregard for family and "civilians" that the cartel displays relative to how Italians are portrayed (at least in television). Comparing Italians to Mexicans and Columbians, at least on the surface they seem to hold near identical values (family, tradition, etc.).

The only two potential factors I can think of are poverty and perhaps a lingering religion/culture that existed before Catholicism that still persists? But with Italians, didn't they experience quite a bit of poverty prior to and following their emigration?

I could be completely wrong. I've done quite a bit of travel and lived overseas, in Korea, but have had less exposure to Central and South America outside of some shows and movies.
