The measures would allow judges to impose restrictions including electronic tags and a ban on internet use on anyone suspected of planning violent crimes
The Southport inquiry will examine whether courts should be allowed to impose sweeping restrictions on people suspected of planning serious violent offences, even if they have not committed any crime.
Opening proceedings on Tuesday at Liverpool town hall, Sir Adrian Fulford, the chair, said the inquiry will consider whether the state should have powers to impose curfews, electronic tags, internet bans and limits on social media use for individuals deemed to pose a risk of serious harm.
