Answer options:

Correct answer: To prevent future criminal activity by imposing conditions on individuals who pose a risk.

Explanation: A peace bond is a court order that aims to prevent future harm or criminal activity by compelling an individual to comply with certain conditions (e.g., no contact, no weapons) for a specified period, typically when there's a reasonable fear they might commit an offense, even if no offense has been proven yet. The correct answer is "To prevent future criminal activity by imposing conditions on individuals who pose a risk.".
