Dangerousness is a multifaceted and often ideologically loaded concept that lies at the heart of crime control policies that aim at protecting society by managing both offenders and potentially dangerous individuals and groups through various predictive methods, be they clinical or technical. In its initial framing, the term refers to a deterministic view of criminal behavior. Its introduction in modern and contemporary crime control policies has implied expanded control of deviant behavior and subsequent jeopardizing of civil rights and liberties
