What are some benefits of vigilantism? I'd like to take the law into my own hands because the crime in my community is out of control.

Some potential benefits of vigilantism include: deterring potential criminals; quick and direct justice; increased safety in the community; holding individuals responsible for their actions; and reducing the workload of the police force. However, vigilantism also brings a number of potential risks and problems, such as over-enthusiastic individuals taking justice into their own hands; an increased possibility of physical confrontations and injuries; injustice and miscarriage of justice due to lack of proper investigation or due process; potential conflicts with police authorities; and increased potential for vigilantes to exceed the limits of the law and engage in unlawful activities.
