Abstract

A vast majority of human societies have always been in pursuit of justice, but only a few of them were able to achieve this treasure. There is a famous quote saying that “when injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.” Since there are no existing articles about vigilantism written in Persian, this paper aims to be the first paper written on this issue in Persian. In this article, we argue that when political and judicial system lack the will or power to confront injustice and corruption in the system or in the society, vigilantes and vigilantism rise and fight with issues through legal and illegal ways.
