So a person should not be convicted or not without going through a legal process, because there is a possibility that someone is innocent but becomes a victim of vigilantism. The conclusion of the research shows that vigilante will respond to situations that are full of undirected ambition into a spurring attitude, that something needs careful consideration before acting, because it does not rule out the possibility that it will result in greater losses.
