Bit of a heavy subject, but....

My wife is sitting lectures at the moment for Law, and she has been hearing about the James Bulger case. The boys that killed this poor little 2 year old, pre-meditated I might add, have been released and given new identities after winning "the right to a life" in the european court of human rights.
I know we have been here before, but what will it take to stop vigalante groups emerging to address the failure of the justice system, and is the threat of vigilante groups a more effective crime prevention method?
Example of law failure: Lord Brockett on Celebrity telling that he served 7 years for fraud, sharing a cell with a murderer who was doing 5 years.
I'm not suggesting vigalanteism is OK, I just acknowledge that the law is next to useless.
