A preventive State (also a preventative State) is a type of sovereign state or policy enacted by a state in which people deemed potentially dangerous are apprehended before being able to commit a crime.[1] As opposed to a punitive method, under which criminals are punished for their actions, a preventive policy seeks to stop people from being able to carry out crime.[2] Several countries have deployed preventive measures as a means of Anti-terrorism in the wake of terrorist attacks; preventive measures can include intelligence gathering, detention and interrogation.[3] Such extreme measures have raised serious concerns about liberty and freedom in modern societies.
