Australia: Terrorism Laws: Preventative DetentionThis Law Library of Congress report on Preventative Detention Orders and Prohibited Contact Orders is the second of three on Australian terrorism laws.
Preventative Detention Orders and Prohibited Contact Orders are two mechanisms available under the Australian criminal law for addressing terrorism concerns. A Preventative Detention Order permits detention of a person for a short period of time (up to forty-eight hours), while a Prohibited Contact Order prohibits the detained person from contacting individuals named in the order. Both may be sought by the Australian Federal Police, subject to certain procedural rights of the person detained or prohibited from making contact.
