Tactics

In order to remove you from society — usually through imprisonment — an adversary must be able to locate you physically and arrest you.

In some contexts, in addition to or instead of other tactics an adversary may attempt to prevent or discourage you from achieving your goals. This can be because they are unable or unwilling to incriminate or arrest you, or because they believe that discouraging you is a good complementary strategy. We call this process deterrence.

In order to arrest you and remove you from society — usually through imprisonment — an adversary may need to convince a judge of your illicit activities. To this end, the relevant authorities will attempt to find evidence of these activites. Depending on the context and people involved, judges may be more or less easy to convince. We call this process incrimination.
