repressive
含义: Serving to restrain, suppress, or inhibit freedoms, expression, or dissent, especially through the apparatus of state power such as police, censorship, or legislation.
Repressive is narrower than 'oppressive' in that it specifically denotes the active suppression of behaviour, speech, or political activity. It implies a deliberate mechanism of control rather than a general atmosphere of suffering. In political science, a 'repressive state apparatus' refers to institutions — police, military, prisons — used to enforce compliance. It also appears in psychological contexts (Freud's 'repressive' mechanisms). Common collocations include 'repressive measures,' 'repressive regime,' 'repressive legislation,' and 'repressive apparatus.'
