ABSTRACT

Naturally, in turn, private and individualized prevention is a politics, a method of managing power and has been seen, a method for producing and exercising social control. In the name of prevention, security from the risk of crime, illegality and currently, terrorism, boundaries are secured and the law suspended. Individualized and privatized prevention does not only correspond to one's increased self-control but becomes a primary duty of care work, multiplying the tasks and responsibilities towards children, the infirm, the elderly, but adult males too. The law par excellence of societies with weak and fluid institutions is contract law. The prevention of terrorism, security understood as the protection from violence and illegality, simultaneously brings with it a call to the rhetoric of rights and the violation of rights themselves. The rights to security and civil liberties obviously contrast with one another and as has been seen it is security that prevails for all.
