Reasons for mob killing It is more likely for people to resort to mob justice in countries where they have little faith in the judicial system due to widespread perceptions of socioeconomic inequality. Consistent with past research, the vast majority of patients brought in for treatment of severe injuries sustained as a result of mob justice underwent surgical intervention (Luna et al. [8]; Udosen et al. [16]). In Ethiopia, mob killing has metamorphosed into a national epidemic presently as it represents an alternative modus operandi of administering law and order, but not an appropriate solution to the challenge of crime as it violates the constitutional rights of the victims (Bekele [2]). Mob killing also called mob justice, jungle or instant justice or community assault (CA) is a process where a group of individuals disobey the law wreaking brutality on a purported suspect of crimes namely theft, robbery, kidnapping, killing, sexual assault and other physical and property offences in the absence of due process (Bekele [2]; Chalya et al. [5]; Medar, Keyes, and Stuart [9]; Ng'walali and Kitinya [11]; Shodunke et al. [14]; Traynor et al. [15]). [Extracted from the article] |
