This book arises from a three-year study of Preventive Justice
directed by Professor Andrew Ashworth and Professor Lucia Zedner at
the University of Oxford. The study seeks to develop an account of
the principles and values that should guide and limit the state's
use of preventive techniques that involve coercion against the
individual. States today are increasingly using criminal law or
criminal law-like tools to try to prevent or reduce the risk of
anticipated future harm. Such measures include criminalizing
conduct at an early stage in order to allow authorities to
intervene; incapacitating suspected future wrongdoers; and imposing
extended sentences or indefinate on past wrongdoers on the basis of
their predicted future conduct - all in the name of public
protection and security. The chief justification for the state's
use of coercion is protecting the public from harm. Although the
rationales and justifications of state punishment have been
explored extensively, the scope, limits and principles of
preventive justice have attracted little doctrinal or conceptual
analysis. This book re-assesses the foundations for the range of
coercive measures that states now take in the name of prevention
and public protection, focussing particularly on coercive measures
involving deprivation of liberty. It examines whether these
measures are justified, whether they distort the proper boundaries
between criminal and civil law, or whether they signal a larger
change in the architecture of security. In so doing, it sets out to
establish a framework for what we call 'Preventive Justice'.
