Abstract
It is a common presumption that our modern risk societies are faced with a plethora of visible and invisible enemies. Balancing freedom and security in this globalised (legal) world has indeed turned into nothing less than an attempt at untying a Gordian knot. Against this background, the proportionality of measures of crime prevention and repression is unquestionably an issue of utmost importance, which basic research and legal policy are urgently called to address.
