critically discuss the following statement:
“The preventive function of government..is far more liable to be abused to the prejudice of liberty, than the punitory function for there is hardly any part of the legitimate freedom of action of a human being that would not admit of being represented, and fairly too, as increasing the facilities for some form of delinquency” (John Stuart Mill, On Liberty,
1859)
