A mortsafe or mortcage was a construction designed to protect graves from disturbance, used in the United Kingdom. Resurrectionists had supplied schools of anatomy since the early 18th century. This was due to the necessity for medical students to learn anatomy by attending dissections of human subjects, which was frustrated by the very limited allowance of dead bodies – like the corpses of executed criminals, other deceased prisoners and suicide victims – granted by the government, which controlled the supply.

precrime
Pre-crime, also spelled precrime, is the idea that the occurrence of a crime can be anticipated before it happens. The term was coined by science fiction author Philip K. Dick, and is increasingly used in academic literature to describe and criticise the tendency in criminal justice systems to focus on crimes not yet committed. Pre-crime intervenes to punish, disrupt, incapacitate, or restrict those deemed to embody future crime threats. As a term, it embodies a temporal paradox, suggesting both that a crime has not yet occurred and that it is a foregone conclusion.
