This scientific article aims to identify the reactions of the State to mob justice in Isangi Territory.
Methodologically, the research uses the dynamist method according to Georges Balandier’s descriptive protocol supported by the documentary technique, the technique of disengaged direct observation, the unstructured interview technique, the photo illustration technique, the sampling technique and the data processing technique. The study required the use of content and statistical analysis techniques.
Thus, the results of the study show that in order to deal with this phenomenon, the State has no recourse to formal social control mechanisms, i.e. the Congolese National Police, the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the General Directorate of Migration, the National Intelligence Agency, the High Prosecutor’s Office, the Court, judges, chiefs of neighborhoods/villages, chiefs of groups, heads of sectors/chiefdoms, etc.
