Prosilience

Where resilience is an objects capacity to regain its shape after impact, prosilience refers to a person's capacity to grow beyond their original container after such an impact.

The concept is closely linked to post traumatic growth and anti-fragility and originated in the the Touch&Play Project and Tribe.
Rather than attempting to avoid all risk of pain and discomfort, care and attention when the inevitable hurt does arise has the potential to cultivate individual and collective prosilience.

proactive policing

Proactive policing is a law enforcement strategy focused on preventing crime before it occurs, rather than merely responding to criminal activity after the fact. It often involves anticipating potential criminal activity, identifying risks, and addressing underlying causes through methods such as community engagement, targeted patrols, predictive analytics, and problem-solving initiatives. This approach contrasts with reactive policing, which centers on responding to crimes once they have been committed.
Proactive policing, such as setting up DUI checkpoints during holiday weekends, aims to deter impaired driving before accidents occur.
