Content Data

This page contains data entry 3696 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

For about the last eight years, there's been a revitalized [bail reform movement](https://www.nbcnews.com/specials/bail-reform/) in the United States.

It's rooted in the idea that cash bail not an equitable way to get people to show up for their court dates, because poor people are far less likely to be able to afford bail. They remain in jail awaiting trial and often lose their jobs as a result, further exacerbating their poverty. Even if they're later found innocent or the charges are dropped, the damage is done.

One of the reforms being pursued is the dramatic reduction in the use of cash bail, to be replaced with things like [pretrial support services](https://www.psa.gov/), [simple reminders](https://prospect.org/justice/the-alternative-to-cash-bail-is-a-simple-reminder/), [electronic monitoring or PR bonds.](https://uclawreview.org/2022/04/01/abolish-cash-bail-and-then-what/)

There is [debate about whether bail reform overall is working,](https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/08/29/how-bail-reform-crime-surge-mix-in-an-angry-debate-quicktake/6e8e0e8c-46a0-11ee-b76b-0b6e5e92090d_story.html) but there's also [a lot of misinformation](https://edition.cnn.com/2021/07/07/politics/bail-reform-violent-crime-fact-check/index.html) out there about it. In an attempt to strike the right balance, New York City has [changed its bail policy a bunch of times](https://www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2023/05/not-so-brief-guide-new-yorks-bail-reform-evolution/385379/) in recent years.

Questions:

* What does the most current research tell us about the effectiveness of bail reform policies? * Is there evidence that certain aspects of the policies clearly are or aren't working? * In countries with no history of cash bail, how do they ensure that people released while awaiting trial will appear for their court dates? * Are there jurisdictions in the US that implement some of those methods, and if so, what are the results?
