Abstract
Mob induced violence in prevalent across the cultures. Pakistan too has received spells of mob violence in the form of lynching. Theoretical models give access to multiple theoretical works on the issue by integrating them into one coherent framework. This way, they prove very useful in understanding, explaining and solving the problems in hand. This is a conceptual article that introduces an integrated model for the phenomenon of mob lynching. For this end, the researcher has used his previous experience on the theme by summarising the conceptual literature review of the relevant ideas. It is argued that this model caters to the need of researchers and academicians in the field in comprehending the problem in various contexts including Pakistan
