Vigilante rituals theory: A cultural explanation of vigilante violence

Muhammad Asif et al.

Summary: This contribution presents a new theory called the vigilante rituals theory, which explains the origins of vigilante violence as stemming from fear, righteous anger, and retaliatory punitive desire due to violations of moral imperatives. It argues that morally outraged individuals engage in violent actions through mobilization and bodily alignment in vigilante rituals, which aim to restore moral imperatives and foster group unity. Additionally, the theory proposes several socio-legal conditions that influence the likelihood of vigilante rituals, such as legal legitimacy, exposure to violence, and authorities' encouragement of self-help. This theory provides a valuable contribution to existing explanations and offers potential for future empirical research.

Emergent Hybrid Legality: A Study of Legal Encounters in the DRC

Holly Dunn

Summary: Building rule of law interventions may lead to unforeseen outcomes when local norms and culture are ignored, as seen in the case of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The concept of emergent hybrid legality reflects a contextualized array of evolving legal-justice ideas, practices, and institutions. These outcomes help elucidate why rule of law building interventions often fail to achieve the intended goals set by interveners.
