Bail denied or bail too high? Disentangling cumulative disadvantage by pretrial detention type

Journal of Criminal Justice, 2022, vol. 82, issue C

Abstract: Defendants can be detained preventively or held in pretrial detention on an unaffordable bail. While prior research concludes that detained defendants face more severe case outcomes than released defendants, it is essential to unpack the differences between defendants denied bail and held on bail. As the latter group would not be detained if they were of more affluent means, they should not face the same cumulative disadvantages of pretrial detention as defendants deemed dangerous and held preventively.
