ABSTRACT
This article explores the possibility of using criminal procedure and its measures for
individual prevention of crime. The author tries to look at criminal procedure in an abstract
way, not focusing on any concrete legal system. It is argued that the criminal process is
traditionally reactive and this should not change. However, some measures of criminal
procedure (arrest, pretrial detention, house arrest, suspension of driving licence, suspension
at work) may be used as instruments of individual prevention when they are the best or only
measures available and their application will not prejudice the case against the accused. Their
use must be accompanied by relevant safeguards and allowed only if necessary and
proportional.
KEYWORDS
Prevention, criminal procedure, preventive measures, risk, human rights
