AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION'S STANDARDS RELATING TO PRETRIAL RELEASE PROCEDURES.

Abstract

AREAS DISCUSSED INCLUDE RELEASE BY POLICE ACTING WITHOUT AN ARREST WARRANT, ISSUANCE OF SUMMONS INSTEAD OF ARREST WARRANT, RELEASE BY JUDICIAL OFFICER AT FIRST APPEARANCE OR ARRAIGNMENT, AND THE RELEASE DECISION. APPENDICES INCLUDING A PREVENTIVE DETENTION MODEL AND BAIL REFORM ACTS ARE INCLUDED. AUTHORS TAKE THE BASIC POSITION THAT THE PRESENT BAIL SYSTEM IS UNSATISFACTORY FROM EITHER THE PUBLIC'S OR THE DEFENDANT'S POINT OF VIEW.
