Bioterrorism, as a threat to global security and public health, can be employed as a political tool to instill fear and destabilize societies. Consequently, traditional security- and reaction-based approaches are insufficient, necessitating proactive measures and comprehensive, multidimensional strategies. Among these, proactive prevention approaches—particularly those targeting individuals, communities, and environments—play a critical role in reducing the risks associated with bioterrorism. Accordingly, this paper employs a descriptive-analytical method, grounded in criminological frameworks and international documents, to examine the role and significance of developmental, community-based, and situational preventive strategies in countering bioterrorism. It also addresses the challenges and limitations of these approaches and explores their application in reducing individuals’ likelihood of engaging in bioterrorist acts. Establishment of robust public health systems, deployment of early detection mechanisms for biological agents, strengthening border security, and the formulation and updating of emergency response plans are among the most important preventive measures in combating bioterrorism.
