Abstract:
Extrajudicial killing is the execution of a person by law enforcement without the sanction of a court or other legal process. Even if a person is suspected of committing a crime, they have the legal and constitutional right to be treated fairly. This essay investigates extrajudicial executions and identifies the legal barriers and justifications used by law enforcement to justify the deaths. On the basis of secondary data sources, a number of factors, such as denial of due process, crime control, and access to the court system, are proposed to explain extrajudicial killing.
