Explanation:
"Vigilantism" përkufizohet ndryshe edhe si "taking the law into one's hands", që është një praktikë a paligjshme, por shpesh e parë nga masat si mjet efikas (dhe trajtuar si i tillë në filma) ne kushtet e mosfunksionimit të drejtësisë. Në shqip, termi "vetëgjyqësi" përdoret gjerësisht si për individë, si për grupe (ndonëse kjo e fundit është më e rrallë) që ndërmarrin të vënë drejtësinë në vend "me duart e veta".

Example sentence(s):
  • Much to the surprise of the police, the overwhelming majority of the calls to the hotline expressed support for the ‘subway vigilante.’
