This book arises from a research project funded in Australia by the
Criminology Research Council. The topic, bail reform, has attracted
attention from criminologists and law reformers over many years. In
the USA, a reform movement has argued that risk analysis and
pre-trial services should replace the bail bond system (the state
of California may introduce this system in 2020). In the United
Kingdom, Europe and Australia, there have been concerns about tough
bail laws that have contributed to a rise in imprisonment rates.
The approach in this book is distinctive. The inter-disciplinary
authors include criminologists, an academic lawyer and a forensic
psychologist together with qualitative researchers with backgrounds
in sociology and anthropology. The book advances a policy argument
through presenting descriptive statistics, interviews with
practitioners and detailed accounts of bail applications and their
outcomes. There is discussion of methodological issues throughout
the book, including the challenges of obtaining data from the
courts.
