Este trabalho mergulha no mundo de um grupo de extermínio, formado por policiais militares, na busca da compreensão da sua gênese, motivações e relações, não só com o Estado, principalmente com agentes e instituições do Sistema de Justiça Criminal - tais como Polícia Civil, Polícia Militar, Ministério Público e Poder Judiciário, mas com a comunidade - um bairro periférico e de população de baixo poder aquisitivo de Salvador - onde atuava predominantemente. Partindo da análise de documentos extraídos de 19 (dezenove) processos judiciais e complementados com entrevistas com os perpetradores, a pesquisa buscou dimensionar o fenômeno na busca por circunstâncias que possibilitaram a formação e a atuação deste grupo de extermínio, o qual, atuando livremente em um bairro de Salvador, por quase três anos, vitimou, pelo menos, 26 (vinte e seis) pessoas. O estudo ainda revela as dificuldades de adequação das práticas do grupo ao conceito de Vigilantismo, já que aponta para uma atuação mais ampla destes agentes, especializados no uso da violência, dentro de um mercado violento informal. Por fim, as pesquisas revelaram que a força deste grupo de extermínio não se esgotava na violência empreendia por seus agentes, mas que era incrementada com o apoio de uma rede de participantes os quais, ainda que não se envolvessem diretamente nas execuções, lhes garantia informação e proteção, potencializando as ações e o medo provocados pela prática.This paper delves into the world of a death squad formed by military police in the search for understanding of its genesis, motivations and relationships, not only with the state, especially with agents and institutions of the criminal justice system - such as civil police, Military Police, Public Ministry and judiciary, but with the community - an outlying neighborhood and low income population of Salvador - where he worked predominantly. Based on the extracted document analysis of nineteen (19) lawsuits and supplemented with interviews with the perpetrators, the research sought to scale the phenomenon in the search for circumstances that made possible the formation and performance of this death squad, which, freely acting in a neighborhood of Salvador, for almost three years, killed at least 26 (twenty six) people. The study also reveals the difficulties of adapting the group practices the concept of vigilantism, already pointing to a wider action of these agents who specialize in the use of violence within a violent informal market. Finally, the research revealed that the strength of this death squad was not just the violence waged by its agents, but that was increased with the support of a network of participants who, even if not directly involved in the executions, provide them with information and protection, increasing the actions and fear caused by the practice.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (M. A. (Criminology and Criminal Justice)) -- University of Limpopo, 2018Vigilantism is a contentious issue that will persist into the future for as long as crime exists. This research aimed at determining community’s perception on vigilantism. The Criminal Justice System has failed community of Matome Village, in the sense that they lost trust and lacked confidence in CJS. Actions involved in vigilantism are not only an expression of people’s anger or frustration but also of their fear. This study adopted both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Probability sampling (Stratified sampling) was used to select participants. For qualitative approach an interview schedule with prearranged questions was conducted and used in both focus group1 and 2 interviews. Focus group 1 consisted of 10 participants, while focus group 2 consisted of 8 participants. For quantitative approach, 80 questionnaires with close-ended and open-ended questions were distributed among community members who took part in the study, and the aim was to get their opinions and experience of vigilantism. The data collected was analysed (thematic content analysis was used) and interpreted by copying exactly words that were said by the participants. The study documented the disadvantages and consequences of vigilantism to fill in the existing gaps of the dangers of vigilante incidents in the literature. Strain theory by Robert Agnew was applied as the suitable theory which best explains why people resort to partake in vigilantism. The research identified factors which contributed mostly to vigilantism, such as: a way of protection and desire for revenge (anger and frustration). KEY WORDS: Vigilantism, Crime, Culprit, Strain, Community participation, Matome Village, Criminal Justice System, Police Officers.

Full textAbstract:
Reports of vigilantism are common in South African media today, where it is portrayed as a growing trend of reactionary violence against the perception of a high crime rate in the country and a criminal justice system which is failing the public. At the same time, the South African Police Service has positioned itself as taking measures to combat the high level of crime which has been blamed for this vigilantism, and publicly denouncing those who take the law into their own hands, both through comments in the media and their own press statements. This dissertation will provide an overview of the three major discourses on vigilantism in South Africa; within academic literature, the media and public arena, and from the South African state itself. In doing so, I hope to contribute to the understanding of how vigilantism is depicted, described and discussed in South Africa today.

Full textAbstract:
San Luis Obispo, California was a violent place in the 1850s with numerous murders and lynchings in staggering proportions. This thesis studies the rise of violence in SLO, its causation, and effects. The vigilance committee of 1858 represents the culmination of the violence that came from sweeping changes in the region, stemming from its earliest conquest by the Spanish. The mounting violence built upon itself as extensive changes took place. These changes include the conquest of California, from the Spanish mission period, Mexican and Alvarado revolutions, Mexican-American War, and the Gold Rush. The history of the county is explored until 1863 to garner an understanding of the borderlands violence therein.

Thomas, Scott K. "Violence across the Land: Vigilantism and Extralegal Justice in the Utah Territory." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2010. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/2485.
Full textAbstract:
For years historians of the American West have overlooked Utah when dealing with the subject of extrajudicial violence, while researchers of Mormonism have misread the existence of such violence in territorial Utah. The former asserts that Utah was free from extrajudicial proceedings and that such violence was nearly nonexistent within the contours of the Mormon kingdom. The latter maintains that any violence that existed in Utah was directly connected to the religious fanaticism of the Mormon populace in the region. The reality is that much of the extralegal violence in Utah was a result of the frontier, not the religion of the Mormons. Although episodes of bloodshed have been routinely categorized as religious zealotry, the evidence suggests that they are more properly catalogued within the context of western vigilantism—a practice well-documented and accepted among historians of the West. Utahans did employ extralegal means, like most other locales, for maintaining the existing social structure. Numerous factors led to conflicts of interests and, as was common during this time, violence became a part of life for early Utahans. It is the purpose of this examination to demonstrate how residents, leaders, and visitors in Utah justified the use of extrajudicial proceedings during the territorial period. Examining the violence that occurred in nineteenth-century Utah within the framework of the western extralegal culture provides a more nuanced understanding of the people of the region and demonstrates how their actions were not as aberrant as previous scholars have claimed. During the territorial period, Utahans experienced a significant amount of extralegal justice. The unique confluence of ethnic, religious, and political ideals led to clashes on the western frontier. There was no shortage of outlaws in Utah, nor of citizens and authorities capable and willing to go beyond the bounds of legal authority to maintain order within the territory. This thesis aims to properly place the Utah Territory in the broader framework of extralegal violence in the West and expand the historical understanding of summary justice in pre-statehood Utah.

Smith, Madeleine. "Dissecting the dark defender : approaching vigilantism in American history, society and culture through Dexter." Thesis, University of Hull, 2015. http://hydra.hull.ac.uk/resources/hull:13605.
Full textAbstract:
[From the introduction]: Vigilantism. Its act or mere mention can have a polarising effect, provoking fear or excitement, disapproval or endorsement, and even imitation in the American public. Vigilantism features regularly in American history, news reports and popular culture references alike, a subtle yet pervasive feature of American life. It is also often highly political, prompting contemporary debates amongst critics and politicians into issues such as self- defence and gun laws, rising crime and social breakdown, and suggests a tendency of the American people to employ or resort to violence. Such debates are not new, however, with outspoken critics on each side of the argument. Ted Robert Gurr, for instance, writing from a conservative perspective, argues that recorded crime rates in America have been inconsistent and are artificially inflated. He states that such claims are exaggerated and have supported a wider perception of American society as being an overtly violent one (1989: pp.21-54). Although Gurr aims to challenge the perception of violence as being generally high in America, he wrote his initial essay for a government report into violence during the 1970s, suggesting a potentially biased perspective. Such an approach ignores the significance of particularly persistent forms of violence in American society, like vigilantism. In contrast, and writing specifically in relation to the often overlooked prevalence of vigilantism in American life, Arnold Madison argues that vigilantism is a persistent feature of American history that will continue to efface American society until the nation’s proclivity to employ violence in such a manner is confronted (1973: p.214). Such opposing outlooks and approaches make clear that vigilantism is a controversial issue that causes extreme responses on both sides of the political spectrum. More so, it can often encompass or be related to other complex social issues, such as anarchism, terrorism and even euthanasia. This highlights the problem of classification surrounding the topic and suggests its applicability to many often conflicting and controversial aspects of modern life. As such, vigilantism is not often recognised as an entity worthy of discussion in its own right, and is often shied away from completely. This thesis will demonstrate how Dexter (Cr. Jeff Lindsay and James Manos Jr, Showtime Networks, US, 2006-2013) is a highly pertinent text through which in-depth, nuanced and wide-ranging discussions of vigilantism are possible, and can inform future subsequent research on the topic.

The purpose of the research is to investigate the reasonReacher’s acts of vigilantism are needed. I look at examples of vulnerability and precarity foundin the books Killing Floor and Die Trying, and argue that state neglect is the cause of economicand social vulnerability in the towns Margrave and Yorke, leading to precarity expressed ascriminal money and community subjugation controlling the towns. I conclude that the solutionpresented, through vigilantism, is reassuring but insufficient, but that the series, in representing acomplex display of vulnerability and acknowledging the insufficiency of the solution, stressesthe difficulty of presenting a simple solution to the multifaceted nature of the issue ofvulnerability.

Full textAbstract:
Digital vigilantism är ett fenomen som växer och blir mer och mer populärt (Chia, 2018; Yardley, Lynes, Wilson, & Kelly, 2016). Digitala vigilantister har under ett flertal tillfällen misslyckats i att korrekt identifiera både förövare och offer i händelser som omger socialt oönskade handlingar (Trottier, 2016; Yardley et al., 2016). Denna studie avser att använda konceptdriven designforskning (Stolterman & Wiberg, 2010) för att utveckla ett koncept som ska förbättra precisionen av utredningar genomförda av digitala vigilantister. Konceptet som presenteras i denna studie är en interaktiv videospelare som tillåter användare att navigera i videomaterial genom att interagera direkt med objekt i videorna. På detta vis ska känslan av position och riktning förhöjas. Resultat i denna studie utgörs av nya insikter av aspekter som behövs hållas i åtanke vid skapande av koncept för denna målgrupp. Detta inkluderar den komplexa etiska problametik som uppstår kring socialt oönskade handlingar och utredningar av dessa handlingar.Digital vigilantism is a phenomenon that is growing and gaining more popularity (Chia, 2018; Yardley et al., 2016). This practice has in various occasions failed to correctly identify both victims and perpetrators in events surrounding socially undesirable acts(Trottier, 2016; Yardley et al., 2016). This study aims to use Concept driven design research (Stolterman & Wiberg, 2010) to develop a concept that will enhance the precision of the investigative research performed by digital vigilantists. The concept presented in this study is an interactive video player that allows users to navigate through video by interacting directly with objects in the video and enhancing the sense of position and direction. This study results in new insights of aspects to take in mind when creating a concept for this particular target group, this includes the complex ethical aspects that arises when dealing with socially undesirable acts and the public investigation of these.

The idea of a Gulabi Gang vigilante, interacting with the people and the state will be discussed, while incorporating John Locke’s social contract theory into the argument as a way to critique vigilantism, or as a basis of critique to then argue why the Gulabi Gang’s vigilantism is necessary. After both sides of argument are weighed, possible solutions of how the Gulabi Gang can better their organization will be discussed in the concluding chapter.

Full textAbstract:
This paper provides a closer analysis of the discourse in doxing in a sample of digital and printed US and European media with a particular focus on the Capitol riots. The analysis centers around the following questions: How is doxing portrayed? How are its victims and perpetrators portrayed? What expressions about doxing appear depending on who performs the act versus being exposed? When it comes to how doxing is valued in the discourse, there are three categories that determine how the discourse is portrayed. (1) Who is behind the doxing? (2) who is the target of doxing? (3) What is the purpose of doxing? These categories work in symbiosis with each other. A positive notion of the doxxer, a negative notion about the person being doxxed and a justified purpose is needed for it to be valued in the discourse. Two main types of doxing could be distinguished that are framed in different ways in the discourse, doxing for malicious purposes and doxing for political purposes. In relation to the U.S capitol riots, Doxing was recontextualized. The change is explained trough (Re-) definition, a ‘theoretical legitimation’ strategy where actions are legitimized through defining an action in terms of ‘another, moralized activity’.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines how the #MeToo-movement was influenced by different forms of informal justice on the social media platform Twitter in 2017. Furthermore, online U.S. news media is analyzed in its contributory role during the movement. Thus, these two sites of analysis also highlight the interplay between social media and online news sources. Therefore, the research questions are: R.Q. 1: How were different forms of informal justice facilitated through networked activism on Twitter during the 2017 #MeToo-movement?R.Q. 2: In what ways did the reporting of online U.S. news media contribute to the mechanisms of informal justice on social media during the 2017 #MeToo-movement? Both questions are answered through two independent qualitative content analyses: The first critically evaluates 80 tweets from the social media platform Twitter that were published between October 15 - December 31, 2017, with the hashtag #MeToo; the second reviews 12 online articles from online U.S. news sources that reported about the online proliferation of the #MeToo-movement.While the results contained online shaming of celebrities and public figures, no distinctive forms of punishment or vigilantism could be identified within the samples. Furthermore, victims of abuse engaged in self-disclosure without exposing their abusers. Still, informal justice could be understood as a way to speak up against societal injustice by expressing a clear warning towards sexual perpetrators through digitally networked activism. At the same time, online news source merely reiterated social media developments without engaging in additional online shaming. However, these news sources also participated in #MeToo-related justice by spreading further awareness about the movement. Thus, a reciprocal relationship between social media and online U.S. news media became evident.

Full textAbstract:
À travers une analyse croisée entre le Japon et la France, la présente étude interroge la manière dont la dimension sociale se déploie, tout particulièrement au nom du lien social, dans le cadre d’actions de prévention de l’insécurité. Ce travail comporte tout d’abord un volet historique, qui s’attache à retracer l’évolution contemporaine des politiques de prévention de l’insécurité. L’étude de sources administratives et législatives depuis 1970, nous permet ainsi d’analyser le processus par lequel la mobilisation des acteurs non-policiers s’est réalisée dans les pays respectifs. Ceci montre des processus de désignation d’éléments extérieurs à risque par les pouvoirs publics et la manière dont ces derniers justifient la mobilisation des acteurs, tout en partageant des problématiques comparables, au nombre desquelles le délitement des liens sociaux, perçu tant au sein de la famille qu’au sein du voisinage. Suite à ce premier travail, nous passons à l’étude des pratiques d’acteurs sociaux tels que les médiateurs de rue et les voisins vigilants en France ainsi que de groupes d’habitants au Japon, afin d’étudier la manière dont ils se mobilisent et s’organisent. En nous fondant sur des enquêtes de terrain, nous montrons comment la prévention trie les bons et les mauvais citoyens au nom de la défense de valeurs qui sont considérées comme les biens du quartier : au Japon, cela transparaît notamment dans les actions des habitants pour la « fabrique de la ville » (machi-zukuri まちづくり) tandis qu’en France, les liens sociaux représentent surtout un outil à disposition d’agents spécialisés. Revêtant une portée d’éducation morale, le quartier japonais peut alors apparaître, en contraste avec le cas français, comme une forme de famille visant à se substituer à la famille contemporaine jugée défaillante. Toutefois, deux cas étudiés, à La Rochelle et à Osaka, montrent que la prévention peut également revêtir l’aspect d’une quête de reconnaissance à travers le développement des réseaux à l’échelle localeIn a cross-analysis of France and Japan, we examine the development of the social dimension in actions to prevent insecurity, especially ones pursued under the name of the social bond. Our thesis begins with a history of the contemporary evolution of policies aiming to prevent insecurity in France and Japan. In particular, we analyse administrative and legislative documents published since 1970 for what they reveal about processes of mobilising non-police actors for prevention in both countries. Our results suggest that the processes have involved the identification of external risks by public authorities, as well as how mobilising such actors is justified as a response to the breakdown of social bonds within families and in neighbourhoods. Afterwards, we describe practices of social actors, including street mediators and “voisins vigilants” in France, as well as neighbourhood associations in Japan, in terms of how they mobilise and organise. Our field research revealed that the prevention sorts good and bad citizens in the name of defending values considered to belong to the neighbourhood. In Japan, such prevention especially concerns actions for まちづくり (machi-zukuri, ‘community building’), whereas in France, social ties primarily represent a tool used by specialised agents. With a moral and educational function, the Japanese neighbourhood thus contrasts the French one as a sort of family to replace the contemporary family deemed to be failing. However, two cases studied, in La Rochelle and Osaka, show that such prevention can also seek a form of recognition via the development of networks at the local level

Violent non-state actors have represented a significant challenge for both national and international security in recent decades. One of the many countries that have experienced extensive violence perpetrated by these entities is also Kenya. Particularly armed group called Mungiki managed to become influential security, political, criminal and religious actor. Considering frequent transformations of the group making it difficult to determine what type of violent non-state actor Mungiki is, the group still represents a challenging case for researchers to fully comprehend. To contribute to the understanding of this entity and extend contemporary knowledge of violent non-state actors, this study aims to conceptualize individual phases of Mungiki development and discover mechanisms behind its recurrent metamorphoses from one type of violent actor to another. Based on the review of existing literature focused on violent non-state actors, their conceptualization, emergence, and transformations, the thesis uses a case-centric process- tracing method aimed at explaining particular outcomes of individual transformations. The study consists of an in-depth analysis of Mungiki development in the context of Kenyan security and political environment. The results indicate that Mungiki represented different types...

Full textAbstract:
Vigilantism is a reality that is going to persist into the future for as long as crime exists. The Diepsloot community is not unique to other parts of the country like Khayelitsha, New Brighton, Gugulethu and others in resorting to mob justice. The satisfaction sourced from eliminating a criminal (s) seems to fuel the resolve around this method of justice. The scourge of crime is pretexted as the main reason behind the mob attacks which the community qualifies by the claim that the police are incapable to police crime.
The Diepsloot community knows the moral and legal restrictions around crime of this magnitude but their knowledge of police incapacity allows them to justify this horrendous act. Mob justice incidents may not be occurring daily but their spread across the calendar is an uncomfortable reality everyone should be concerned of.
The community, especially the victims, suffer permanent scars of fear and the burden on victim families is enormous. Victim families tend to grapple with permanent problem of dependants that have been incapacitated by the mob attacks. By far, victim families believe that perpetrators continue with impunity and the law-enforcement has revised intervention strategies.
Multitask teams (like churches, youth, men’s forum and sport) have been formed to reach out to the community but somehow no objective needs-analysis have been conducted thus the products are right but have no consumers. The role played by the police in community projects is acknowledged but the coordination structure is too centralised to purport local ownership.
The concepts of moral regeneration and social cohesion have to find practical studies in the community of Diepsloot so as to comprehend the interest of the residents and be impactful to do paradigm shift.

Emerging technological trends have opened the possibilities for information manipulation across multiple platforms resulting in a power shift from the state to its citizens. This study takes on three cases as exemplars which will demonstrate how technology fabricates power in liberal states, causing a power dynamics shift. Each of the case studies will illustrate how technological vigilantism in one form or another allows for the citizen emancipation. The erosion of the relationship between the perpetrator and victim will also be discussed as private and public tracking devices becomes widespread. The initial findings suggest that the introduction of private software tracking has amplified the rate at which the state's monopoly over security and surveillance is eroding. Representing three key sections of a society - public, private, and civil - the cases analyzed show that each section is moving towards micromanagement meaning that citizens are taking the law into their own hands, despite high police competency. Find My iPhone, Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, as well as other social networks and tracking software help support the rise of technology vigilantes. The state's monopoly over security and surveillance is in turmoil. Thus, this multi-case study will take on a discussion between two potential...

Political videos are created as persuasive media, and at a basic level that persuasion would require that the videos guide viewer attention to the relevant persuasive content. Recent work has shown that filmmakers have techniques that allow them to guide where viewers look, and this guidance occurs even when viewers have very different understandings of the film. The current research tested if these attentional effects carry over to political videos, or if the top-down factors of attitude congruence and social vigilantism, belief superiority and the tendency to impress one’s “superior” beliefs on others (O'Dea, Bueno, & Saucier, 2018; Saucier & Webster, 2010; Saucier, Webster, Hoffman, & Strain, 2014), will break the ability of videos to guide viewers’ attention. Attentional selection was measured through participants’ eye movements, and memory encoding was measured through recall and recognition for both verbal and visual information. Three overarching competing hypotheses predicted different relationships between attitude congruence, social vigilantism, and visual attention and memory. The Tyranny of Film Hypothesis predicted that the videos would guide viewer attention, regardless of attitude congruence. This would result in similar eye-movements and memory for all participants. The Selective Exposure Hypothesis predicted that participants would avoid processing attitude-incongruent information. As a result, viewers’ visual attention would be directed away from attitude-incongruent information, and subsequent memory would be worse. Lastly, the Social Vigilantism Hypothesis predicted that people high in Social Vigilantism would engage more with attitude-incongruent information. Two experiments tested these hypotheses. The first was the Memory experiment (conducted online), and the second was the Eye movement experiment. In each experiment, participants watched a series of political advertisement and debate videos, and attitudes were measured to identify which information in the videos was attitude-congruent and incongruent. The Memory experiment showed some support for the Social Vigilantism Hypothesis, with People high in Social Vigilantism having better memory for attitude-incongruent information on certain memory measures. Conversely, the Eye movement experiment consistently showed strong stimulus driven effects in support of the Tyranny of Film, but also weaker attitude and social vigilantism effects that were independent of attitude congruence. Altogether, these results show dynamic video stimuli features are the best predictors of viewer attention and memory, but viewer attitude and social vigilantism have subtle top-down effects. The support for different hypotheses between the two experiments indicates the strength of top-down effects may depend on the format of the viewing experience, and specifically how much control the viewer has over the experience.
