PART ONEDescribe the issue you have chosen. The question I decided to analyze is that concerning the implications of bail and pre-trial detention. Bail is an option that a court must consider when temporarily releasing an accused individual until his or her scheduled appearance at a designated time, before a determination of innocence or guilt is made. Various guarantees that ensure the person's appearance at a scheduled time include a surety, a bail bond paid by a surety, a summons, or a court appearance notice. Pretrial detention is the refusal of bail, when the accused must be detained before trial, held in custody until the hearing resumes or the trial begins. Pre-trial detention is granted if there is a greater likelihood that the defendant will commit another crime, fail to appear in court, intimidate someone or obstruct the course of justice.

According to this new legislation authorities must keep the following in mind when considering granting bail to an accused; Is the person at risk of endangering community safety, committing a serious crime, interfering with witnesses or failing to show up at the appointed time? This system will offer greater uniformity by separating the complexities predominantly related to the filming regime, while taking community safety into high consideration.
