Over the past decade bail legislation reform has curtailed the presumption in favour of bail and enabled its therapeutic use.

The explicit or implicit protection of banks through government bail-out policies is a universal phenomenon. We analyze the competitive effects of such policies in two models with different degrees of transparency in the banking sector. Our main result is that the bail-out policy unambiguously leads to higher risk-taking at those banks that do not enjoy a bail-out guarantee. The reason is that ...

Previous papers (Hassett, 1991, 1990) explored the issue of whether computer technology, specifically expert systems technology, could contribute to improving the quality of pretrial release / detention decisions. Subsequently a prototype expert system which makes bail recommendations was developed using the XiPlus exp...
