Resources

This section provides a number of resources for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers to explore national legal standards and evidence-based and promising practices in administering the pretrial stage of the criminal case process.

 

The Pretrial Justice Institute is the nation's only nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring informed pretrial decision-making for safe communities. When people are arrested, their release or detention pending trial should be based on a thoughtful, informed assessment of whether they will stay crime-free while on release and return to court for trial.
