The first and second paragraphs seem to contradict each other. This could be confusing. Matthew Matic 15:52, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
the interwiki to the dutch Wikipedia lead me to the article on Terbeschikkingstelling but this a completely different subject than the preventive detention as described here. The dutch article nl:Terbeschikkingstelling (strafrecht) is about Psychiatric imprisonment ( Involuntary_commitment#Netherlands). and I believe the german article is also more about Psychiatric imprisonment than it is about preventive detention.

It is hardly a secret that Denmark is hit by a huge gang war or rather gang attacks. The Danish police has recently (within the last year) created special units:
And they have spent 50 millions DKK on the task (in DK)

I have deleted the content under United Kingdom, because it was grossly inaccurate. It referred to the Fixated Threat Assessment Centre (see Wiki entry) which doesn't detain anyone and has nothing to do with preventive detention. Someone needs to add in material about control orders in terrorism cases and the ruling of the European Court on the legality (illegality) of such manoeuvres. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FRGMelbourne ( talk • contribs) 14:23, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
Deleted the line referring to President Obama detaining Guantanamo Bay captives for obvious bias. If you're going to reference their indefinite detention, link to the Guantanamo Bay main article and all the controversies associated with it instead -- President Obama did not originate the use of Guantanamo Bay for this purpose and neither should he be exclusively associated with its use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.19.67.32 ( talk) 21:01, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
It seems that there is no universally agreed definition of "preventive detention". There are (at least) four types of detention that can in principle be considered "preventive" (in that they are intended to prevent a person from doing something): Pre-trial detention (remand), detention after serving a sentence, detention by security forces without a formal accusation (uncommon in democratic countries and generally considered a human rights violation), and involuntary commitment.
It seems the term is mainly used for "detention after serving a sentence", but e.g. in Peru the detention prior to trial is called "prisión preventiva", literally "preventive prison" (see Peruvian law: Ley de tratamiento procesal de la prisión preventiva y la presunción de inocencia).
I tried to edit the article to explain this confusion. Any other ideas on how to better explain this?
Also, the country-specific sections seem to sometimes describe pre-trial detention. If there is a consensus that this article is for post-sentence detention only, these sections should probably be moved to the remand article. Or not?
Deleted the entry for Canada, because dangerous offender sentences in Canada do not meet either of the definitions used in this article: "the detention of a convicted criminal who has served their sentence, but is considered too dangerous to release", or "detention of a person without trial or conviction by a court". The dangerous offender sentence is imposed as the sentence for a particular offence, and can only be imposed by a court after trial and conviction, through due process of law.

This article is mixing two totally unrelated concepts, one of which is covered in Pre-trial detention. I suggest we remove everything related to that topic, as it is quite confusing right now. Vpab15 ( talk) 19:55, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
