Every criminal is entitled to due process of the law and this fact
forms the cornerstone of any civilised judicial system. In India
there is a spate of lynching in recent times. How do we interpret
this new form of justice system in present context? Have the people
lost their faith in the police completely to indulge in wanton acts
of vigilante justice? Or is it that under particular regime tenure,
people become more confident and daring! Daredevil acts are done by
the coward on behalf of the local community. Mob psychology shows
that individuals tend to behave in a different manner as part of a
group in contrast to acting independently. Individuals in a group
defer their goals and take upon the identity of the group.
Therefore, members of a group are likely to commit acts they would
never commit alone. An incident of mob justice, in addition to
being a shocking indicator of the psychological mindset of a
society also suggests a failed justice delivery mechanism. If
instant justice is meted out to an offender then is the punishment
just in degree for a crime? Humans use threats and violence to
dominate, and also resort to cheating, deceit or negotiation to
obtain status and valued resources. Moreover impulsive violent
behaviours are frequently labelled emotional violence and are
linked with emotions such as anger and fear. The common man, the
politician, the police, the judiciary and the media if work
together the barbaric tradition of mob justice in modern times can
be nipped in the bud.
