The use of volunteer, self-appointed committees organized to suppress crime and punish criminals is known as vigilantism.

The other options listed do not accurately describe this phenomenon - the blue code of silence refers to police officers covering up for one another, privatization refers to the transfer of government services to private companies, and the slave patrol system was a historical institution used to control and oppress enslaved populations.
