        "summary": "Law taken into own hands The tendency to take the law into one's own hands is now more apparent than ever. One recent example was the burning down of a city bus in Jakarta by an angry mob after it hit a mikrolet public transport vehicle, severely wounding its four passengers. The other is the marching 'punishment' imposed by villagers in Padang Pangrapat, East Kalimantan on four young women for alleged involvement in the world's oldest profession. This list could go on and on.",
