Bail is a fundamental human right which measures society's democratic credentials. Taken alongside an increasing prison population, there is an urgent need to find alternatives to custodial remands which do not increase risks to the community. This important book evaluates a bail support scheme in the UK called the Effective Bail Scheme, which was the first such scheme directed at adults. It places its findings in the context of bail law, policy, and practice. Conclusions are drawn about the potential of bail support schemes to reduce prison remand populations. Based on up-to-date research, it makes a valuable contribution to an under-researched area and provides useful insights for policy makers and practitioners.
