Exploring the principles and values that should guide and limit the
state's use of preventive techniques that involve coercion against
the individual, this volume arises from a three-year study of
Preventive Justice. The contributions examine whether and when
preventive measures are justified, whether within or outwith the
criminal law, and whether they signal a larger change in the
architecture of security. Preventive measures include controversial
crime control approaches such as pre-inchoate offences, pre-trial
detention, restraining orders, and prevention detention of the
dangerous. There are good reasons to justify state use of coercion
to protect the public from harm, but while the rationales and
justifications for state punishment have been extensively explored,
the scope, limits, and principles of preventive justice have not
received the same attention. This volume, written by world renowned
scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds and jurisdictions,
redresses the balance, assessing the foundations for the range of
coercive measures that states now take in the name of prevention
and public protection.
