High levels of remand or pre-trial detention (PTD) is a matter of
growing concern in many countries, and at a European level. Despite
being responsible for a significant part of the prison population,
PTD practice is rarely the focus of criminological and criminal
justice research. This book examines pre-trial detention practices
and different ways of reducing its use across Europe. Offering a
range of country-specific studies, this book also offers
comparative studies of major issues across the continent. In
particular, this book illustrates and examines how the actors
(judges, public prosecutors, defence lawyers) work in pre-trial
proceedings and make decisions; the common challenges in PTD
decision-making; the factors which explain higher and lower rates
of PTD across Europe; similarities and differences in practice; and
the ways in which cross-border cases within the European influence
policy and practice. Offering suggestions and recommendations for
how to bring down the use of PTD in Europe, this book is essential
reading for all those engaged with European penal research and
practice.
