*”pre-crime” is a term coined by science fiction author ‘philip k dick’*
.
(it is increasingly used in ‘academic literature’ to ‘describe’ and ‘criticize’ the tendency in ‘criminal justice systems’ to focus on ‘crimes’ not yet ‘committed’)
(‘pre-crime’ has been defined as ‘substantive coercive state interventions targeted at non-imminent crimes’)
(‘pre-crime’ intervenes to ‘punish’, ‘disrupt’, ‘incapacitate’, or ‘restrict’ those deemed to embody ‘future crime threats’)
.
(the term ‘pre-crime’ embodies a ‘temporal paradox’, suggesting both that a crime has not occurred and that the crime that has not occurred is a foregone conclusion)
