Abstract

El Vigilantismo es una corriente ideológica que propugna el derecho a la autodefensa de los individuos cuando el Estado no es capaz de proporcionársela de manera eficaz. Experimentó un considerable auge en los Estados Unidos a partir de los años setenta, presentándose como una alternativa válida en la lucha contra la elevada criminalidad. El Vigilantismo defiende una visión eminentemente punitiva de la Justicia. La película ?Death Wish?, de Michael Winner (Paramount Pictures, 1974), y protagonizada por Charles Bronson, en el papel de Paul Kersey, retrata de forma certera esta doctrina.

Alternate abstract:

Vigilantism is an ideological stream that advocates the right to self-defense of the individuals when the Government is unable to provide it effectively. It underwent a considerable boom in the United States from the 1970s, posing as a valid alternative in the fight against high rates of criminality. Vigilantism defends an essential punitive vision of Justice. The film ?Death Wish?, directed by Michael Winner (Paramount Pictures, 1974), with Charles Bronson, playing the role of Paul Kersey, is an acute portrait of this doctrine.
