A '''vigilance committee''' is an ''ad hoc'' group of [[citizen]]s that forms to take summary action against lawbreakers in time of social collapse, or whenever normal lawful processes fail or appear to have failed.
A ''vigilante'' is either a member of a vigilance committee or one person taking such summary action on his or her own cognizance.
