Abreu, C. P. (2011). “Prisão Preventiva e Detenção – Mais do que o Acidental e Alterável, o Essencial e Imutável.” In: As Alterações de 2010 ao Código Penal e ao Código de Processo Penal. Coimbra: Coimbra Editora

More than the excess of imprisonment, it is intolerable that any citizen can be deprived of their freedom without knowing the reason for their arrest or imprisonment. Often, the principles are forgotten or, consciously or unconsciously, are excluded from legal reasoning and removed from the application of the interpreter and the decision maker. The detention and decision to apply enforcement measures, especially preventive detention, should be careful consideration, face to the human rights to freedom and security.
