Abstract
Not only new crimes and pre-crimes, but also already existing offences, are being defined in terms of risk factors. This is associated with the reconstitution of sanctions into risk-reducing interventions. The chapter focuses on the re-formation of speeding offences in this light, and their redefinition into ‘mass preventive justice’ within a risk-based jurisprudence of safety. While this conforms with the Deleuzian diagram of ‘control society’, resistance has been widespread and its impact needs to be taken into account.
