chosen.content: Vigilantism has some perceived benefits, such as being able to more quickly respond to situations involving potential crime. It can also be seen as a form of justice where citizens take it upon themselves to uphold the law by acting in lieu of official law enforcement. Ultimately, however, taking the law into one’s own hands can lead to greater harm and more chaos rather than peace and order. There is also the risk of vigilantes using excessive force or conducting illegal searches and seizures, thereby doing more harm than good. Ultimately, vigilantism should not be embraced as an alternative to legitimate law enforcement.  Instead, those dissatisfied with the status quo should work with law enforcement and other community members to improve local policies and make neighborhoods safer.

rejected.content: While vigilantism has many risks, it can also lead to positive outcomes. For one, people may feel safer when violent criminals are removed from the area. Additionally, vigilantes can help hold police officers accountable for their actions, as well as help deter criminal activity. Finally, it can serve as an outlet for citizens to take pride in their community, as well as take charge of their own safety and justice.
