EXAMINATION OF MISSOURI'S BAIL SYSTEM IN THE CONTEXT OF NATIONWIDE BAIL REFORM TO DETERMINE WHERE THE STATE STANDS IN TERMS OF INSURING A FAIR AND EQUITABLE BAIL SYSTEM.

THE AUTHOR SUGGESTS THAT ADHERENCE TO FULL INFORMATION PRINCIPLES BEFORE A BAIL DECISION IS MADE, PREFERENCE FOR NON-FINANCIAL RELEASE CONDITIONS AND EARLIER BAIL DECISIONS WOULD PROVIDE FURTHER IMPROVEMENT OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM AND COULD BE ADDED WITHOUT MAJOR REVISION.
