The prevention imperative, today diffuse and pervasive, symbolizes both a self-defining doctrine and justification of a means of repression, segregation, and exclusion. From bodies to daily life to preventative war, the book investigates the effects of this imperative for social control, its connection with neo-liberal hegemonic ideology, and the centrality in it and in its dealings with women and the feminine. -- Back Cover
This fascinating analysis dissects the numerous components of the prevention imperative in contemporary societies, linking new forms of social control with hegemonic neo-liberal ideology. The gendered reading offered adds originality to this thought-provoking, superb, book. Vincenzo Ruggiero, Middlesex University, UK -- Back Cover
In Pervasive Prevention, Tamar Pitch, one of Europe's leading legal theorists, has produced the book that many of us have been thirsting for: a feminist analysis of the security society. With her usual clarity, drollery, and perspicacity, Pitch provides a gendered analysis of the new forms of social control that pervade our lives.
