Factors
(a) Disenchantment with the state lack of developmental activities and feeling of alienation results in this e.g stone pelting in Jammu and Kashmir.
(b) Orthodoxy related to religion culture etc conflict between orthodox and rational values. e.g cow vigilantism and killing in the name of it.
(c) No fear of law Rising crimes against women with an increase of 35% in rape cases shows less fear of law among people.
(d) Political patronage eg Jat agitation during reservation issue is said to be due to lethargy on part of administration.
Ways to address mob justice
↳ Strengthening of police, intelligence and administrative machinery. ↳ Speedy justice which can create deterrent among people. ↳ State's role of development need to be fulfilled. ↳ Space for interaction as rumours many a time create panic e.g Suresh Khopade IPS Mohalla committees.
