For people who exercise, stretching should always be done before and after to prevent injury.  With this, you are warming up the muscles so they can perform.  Without proper stretches, the muscles and ligaments are tight, which means they could be strained or even torn.  As you will discover, in addition to stretches used with exercise, there are other benefits and many forms.  Interestingly, you will find some medical professionals who disagree with the injury theory.  Many believe that there is no reduction in injury but to be safe, we still recommend it.
