Vigilante justice is also on the rise. It is very targeted, precise and sends a message. Some bad actors are left to be found and some just disappear.
Fortunately the police spend even less time investigating the vigilantism than the little bit they do investigating the crimes.
Many times the perps are caught on ring cameras and their photos are made public. Maybe the police would rather have it this way than the difficult routine (time, money, travel) of prosecuting.
BTW - Jail is no picnic. Family must supply food or the prisoner starves. It is a deterrent.

When the law isn’t enforced, vigilante justice will always come about.
I have zero issue with rapists, pedophiles, and murderers getting executed.
