vigilante groups

Vigilante groups are organizations or individuals who take enforcement of laws or social order into their own hands, outside official authorities. They often arise when communities feel government institutions are unable or unwilling to address certain issues like crime or corruption. While they may aim to promote safety, their actions can bypass legal processes, leading to potential violations of rights and jeopardizing justice. Vigilantes operate based on personal or collective judgment, which can sometimes result in vigilantism becoming problematic or unlawful.
