Violent Justice Vigilantism and the State’s Response

“This monograph has argued that the main reason why people support vigilantism today relates to weaknesses in the criminal justice system and particularly the long period of time taken to deal with criminal cases. The review of policies and strategies above shows that there are many government initiatives in place to deal with these problems. Certain factors may however limit the impact of these approaches.These factors are presented within the context of four recommendations which are listed in italics at the start of each discussion.”
