ABSTRACT Based on two small-scale case studies, this paper discusses the supportive role of digital media in the practices of far-right vigilante groups in Slovakia and describes their political nature, motives, and the groups that they target instead of targeting crime prevention. Based on theoretical frameworks by Johnston (1996) and Trottier (2017), this paper argues that the contemporary activities of Slovak far-right vigilantes meet the definition criteria of both conventional and digital vigilantism, blurring the distinction between them, as the two types of practices often overlap and interact with each other to a substantial degree. At the same time, it aims to explore and analyse the interactions of the offline and online presence of far-right vigilante groups within the political and social context of Slovakia with a special emphasis on the role digital media play in their campaigns in terms of supplementing, amplifying, and justifying conventional vigilante activities.

数字媒体在斯洛伐克极右翼警卫队战略中的作用

摘要基于两个小规模案例研究，本文讨论了数字媒体在斯洛伐克极右义勇士组织的实践中的支持作用，并描述了其政治性质，动机以及他们所针对的群体，而不是针对预防犯罪的群体。基于Johnston（1996）和Trottier（2017）的理论框架，本文认为斯洛伐克极右派警卫者的当代活动符合常规警戒和数字警惕主义的定义标准，模糊了两者之间的区别，这是两种类型的实践常常相互重叠，并在很大程度上相互影响。同时，
