[to use/resort to that] kind/form/type of protection


Explanation:
It appears that the text is referring to a specific type of action rather than performing a role. If the action is more restrictive, than I would precede it with "resort to."

Or "that kind of protection measure." It all depends on how specific the action is that they're referring to. I don't see how it can be a "role."

that form of protection/protective measure


Explanation:
I agree with Muriel that it must refer to a specific type of protective measure. (And 'protective measure' may be a euphemism for some kind of quite repressive measure)

Example sentence(s):
  • Ths situation did not warrant such drastic protective measures
