The
response
of
the
German
authorities
was
threefold
.
The
legislative
response
aimed
at
an
overhaul
reform
of
preventive
detention.[67
]
The
main
changes
were
as
follows
.
Firstly
,
the
application
of
primary
preventive
detention
under
Article
§
66
of
the
Criminal
Code
was
substantially
narrowed
.
Secondly
,
the
deferred
preventive
detention
system
was
expanded
.
Under
certain
circumstances
,
deferred
preventive
detention
under
Article
66a
of
the
Criminal
Code
became
possible
for
offenders
who
are
only
sentenced
to
a
five
-
year
prison
term
.
Thirdly
,
retrospective
preventive
detention
under
Article
66b
of
the
Criminal
Code
and
section
106
of
the
Juvenile
Courts
Act
was
removed
,
with
the
exception
of
cases
where
committal
to
a
psychiatric
hospital
was
terminated
because
the
condition
which
excluded
or
reduced
the
defendant
’s
criminal
responsibility
and
on
which
the
confinement
was
based
did
not
exist
or
no
longer
existed
.
However
,
section
316(e)(1
)
of
the
Introductory
Act
to
the
Criminal
Code
laid
down
that
the
new
provisions
were
to
apply
only
if
the
offence
,
or
at
least
one
of
the
offences
,
for
the
commission
of
which
preventive
detention
was
to
be
imposed
or
deferred
had
been
committed
after
the
Act
entered
into
force
on
1
January
2011
.
Offences
committed
before
this
time
were
still
subject
to
the
earlier
law
.
