Question: Residents of a poor neighborhood are plagued with a drug problem. Five pushers operate openly on their streets and brazenly try to entice neighborhood children to take free samples. A committee of residents has approached the police and begged them to arrest the pushers, but they have done nothing. There is reason to believe some of the police are sharing in the proceeds of the drug trade. The residents decide that their only hope for a safe and decent neighborhood for their children is to take the law into their own hands. Accordingly, one calm summer night they unceremoniously execute the pushers" (Ruggiero, 2012, p. 99).
