Vigilantes: security or insecurity?
October 5, 2020
This comic was produced for the Centre of Public Authority and International Development (CPAID) of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). It was supported by the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) and the Economic Social and Research Council (ESRC).
The story focuses on a fictional town in Uganda, but is based on real events; what happens when a town tries to fight crime using vigilantes?
The narrative is based on research by Rebecca Tapscott. The artwork is by Kenyan cartoonist and comic artist Victor Ndula.
