The Preventive State

None
Book • 1996
In 'The Preventive State,' Alan Dershowitz explores the delicate balance between government's duty to prevent serious harms and its obligation to protect individual liberties.

The book delves into the legal and ethical challenges posed by preventive measures, such as surveillance, pre-emptive military action, and restrictions on civil rights.

Dershowitz analyzes historical and contemporary cases to illustrate the potential for abuse and the importance of due process.

A central theme is the tension between security and freedom, particularly in the context of terrorism and other threats.

The book offers a framework for evaluating preventive policies and ensuring that they are consistent with constitutional principles.

Ultimately, it argues for a vigilant defense of civil liberties, even in the face of perceived danger.
