LE MISURE DI PREVENZIONE PERSONALI DEL TERRORISMO IN ITALIA E NEL REGNO UNITO. SPUNTI DI RIFLESSIONE PER UNA PREVENZIONE SOSTENIBILE

To what extent the legitimate aspiration of the States to prevent terrorist attacks can go further? This is one of the main issues that modern democracies must face. In this scenario, this PhD thesis proposes a comparative study on preventive counter-terrorism measures targeted on suspected terrorists within a human rights’ approach, in the searching of the “sustainable prevention”. After the study of Italian preventive counter-terrorism law from different perspectives, a small "field research" and the analysis of the UK counter-terrorism system, the Author uses the proportionality principle to suggest some corrective mechanisms for a more sustainable balance between freedom and security.
