Prevention of offenses by means of private law is becoming more and more developed due to their availability and efficiency.

By the efforts of civilists who resist the introduction of public elements into private law and representatives of public law who oppose the granting of private law with public functions, the problem is receiving increasing attention. These and other factors have contributed to the expansion of the use of private law for preventive purposes, first in the US, and then on other continents.

There are two main directions of development. There is an increasing involvement of private law entities - individuals and legal entities - in preventive activities and granting them public functions. The norms of private law are increasingly being used to prevent offenses.

Discussion of private legal means at the meetings of the German Prevention Congress contributed to the improvement of prophylaxis both among the individual categories of individuals and society as a whole. The 11th Congress focused on prevention among people engaged in sports, the 13th Congress was dedicated to individuals with an active position; the 12th Congress focused on strong youth. 4, 5, 6, 7 Congresses discussed ways to improve the prevention potential of society as a whole. The main principle of private law - freedom of expression of will - was the dominant theme of the 21st Congress.
