Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 1984 Bail Reform Act led to a shift in the method of detention from primarily cash bail to non-financial options such as pretrial release or electronic monitoring. While the overall detention rate did not necessarily increase, the Act aimed to reduce unnecessary detention and promote fairer and safer pretrial practices. There is limited research on the effects of the Act on pretrial crime rates, so choice C cannot be confirmed.
