You played or someone broke your legs or burned down your house. Last time I checked, no state is doing anything like that. I think that the major difference comes from the magnitude of the power. You are describing two possible measures: reducing somebodies mobility and destroying financial situation. State can in both situations be a lot of more effective and therefore offer better competition against the mafia. If a State wants to reduce somebodies mobility, it will arrest this person. In many cases this can be extended to eternity. A state can be also more efficient in the second case - instead of burning down the house, state can just confiscate it.
