Title
Exploring
the
influence
of
legal
and
extra-legal
factors
in
bail
decisions
Publisher
Central Connecticut State University
Date
2009
Resource Type
Master's Thesis
Notes
There
is
limited
research
on the
influence
of
extra-legal
factors
on
bail
decisions
, and
fewer
studies
that
attempt
to
understand
the
complexity
of these
decisions
. This
study
utilized
existing
data
from the
Connecticut
Judicial
Branch
to
examine
the
influence
of
extra-legal
factors
, in
particular
race/ethnicity
,
relative
to
legal
factors
on
bail
decisions
. The
sample
included
6,485
defendants
arrested
for a
drug
offense
in
2006
and these
data
were
analyzed
using
univariate
tests
, as
well
as
logistic
and
ordinary
least
squares
regression
models
. The
findings
show
that
black
and
Hispanic
defendants
were
more
likely
to
receive
a
financial
bail
and a
higher
bond
amount
compared
to their
white
counterparts
, but that these
differences
were
explained
, in
part
, by
group
differences
in
legal
factors
that are
considered
in
bail
decisions
,
such
as
criminal
history
and
community
ties
.
Furthermore
, this
study
found
that
much
of the
variance
in
bail
type
and
bond
amount
remained
unaccounted
for
after
considering
the
influence
of
eleven
legal
factors
along
with
race/ethnicity
.
