What do vigilantism and criminal governance have in common and different? Both build a political-social order at the local level with sanctions against breaking that order, establish a repertoire of lethal and non-lethal violence as part of those sanctions, sometimes build legitimacy, and develop within the framework of a low level of Rule of law. Between vigilantism and criminal governance there is an air of family, but the claims of justice that frame vigilantism make them like distant relatives.
