There are many advantages to taking law in one's hands. One of the most important advantages is that taking law in one's hands allows people to have a direct and personal involvement in the legal system. This involvement can help people to understand the legal system better and to have a stronger voice in how it operates. Additionally, taking law in one's hands can give people the opportunity to become advocates for their rights and interests. Finally, taking law in one's hands can also provide a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

In a country like mine,taking laws into your hand can be beneficial because the police are not effective and can't be trusted.

A criminal who ought to serve some jail term and make some new friends in prison may be released if he knows the right people. The honest truth is that corruption has eaten deep into the fabric of the police force and they can't be trusted with criminals.That's why people kill criminals (thieves,rapists ) and so on without taking them to the police.

They also lean towards the believe that the kind of punishment meted out to this criminals does not sometimes commensurate with their offense.

I don't believe in jungle justice. It is an archaic practice and in a sane country where everything works,criminals are supposed to be handed over to the police,charged to court and be locked behind bars but unfortunately, nothing works in my country. That's the main reason people initiate jungle justice. At least,they have one less criminal to worry about

It is definitely not legally justified however, it is a moral justification. Usually those who take the law  by their hands are rational people who came to realize that the law will never serve their justice.

I don't think there are any advantages to people taking the law into their hands, because law is meant to be followed, and when we don't follow the law, then there is no use in having it there. Laws are meant to be followed not broken. Usually when we take the law into our hands, the one thing that will happen is we will be held accountable, this means we will either go to jail or face charges in court for violating the law. Why would someone get themselves in trouble only to end up in jail, serving a term on something they would have avoided by just doing the simplest thing as following a law. Another thing i have noticed is that wgen we do this, many times we don't see trouble coming our way, you could end up fighting someone who is much bigger than you, and you get hurt in the process. It's only rational and prudent to always do what is right.

First thing, taking the law in our hands is considered a sin in the eyes of people and God. We cannot deny that government laws are not accepting this act. Even the Ten Commandments of God, it is not also acceptable. If a person insists on doing it, then he or she needs to prepare himself or herself to imprisoned for so many years.

The disadvantage is that most people that take the law into their hands sometimes end up breaking the law themselves. Take for example acting in retaliation people end up causing more harm that was initially intended and this will cause them a jail term because the law most take it natural course.

Taking law in our own hands is not good and also it's unacceptable by the holy books. God condemns it and Noone is above the other. Although the police are corrupt, taking the law in our own hands has no advantage.

There are a few advantages to this approach to law. First, it makes it easier for people to argue court decisions in a straightforward and clear manner. Secondly, it makes it easier for people to argue against unfair decisions by the courts. Finally, it helps people who are difficult to argue with.
