The 1st JusCrim International Congress, held at the Law School of the University of Minho between 12 and 14 November 2019, took place under the motto of “Prevention, Policing and Security – Implications for Human Rights”. Jointly organized by the Criminal Justice Group (JusGov), part of the Justice and Governance Research Centre (JusCrim), and the Human Rights Interdisciplinary Research Centre (DH-CII), the 1st JusCrim International Congress presented itself to the whole community – not only academic and not only legal – with an ambitious goal. An objective that included the analysis of the tensions and distensions, increasingly felt and significant, between the references of security and freedom. In this concrete sense, crime prevention should not be framed as an exclusively juridical-criminal problem or, to put it differently, as a merely normative, merely self-referential challenge. On the contrary, crime prevention must begin upstream of criminal law, rectius, upstream of criminal procedure. The axis “prevention, policing and security” which guided the Congress shows an approach, necessarily holistic, to the great problem of prevention, seen as a challenge to the binomial security-freedom. A problem which, as it directly imbricates human rights, cannot be erected as a mere problem of jurists and for jurists. It was due to the need for the aforementioned holistic or complex approach to the topic of prevention that the 1st International JusCrim Congress sought to question the most diverse participants in criminal matters, namely: members of the various criminal police and intelligence agencies, members of the armed forces, jurists and sociologists.
