    • note
    • When John Mitchell, Nixon's Attorney General, announced the Administration's plan for introducing federal legislation that would permit judges at bail hearings to use dangerousness as a criterion for denying bail, Laurence Tribe wasted no time in condemning the proposal. The legislation, he insisted, was likely to be the first step of a profound shift in our system of criminal justice-a system that, at least until now, has operated on the premise that crime should normally be prevented by the threat of subsequent punishment rather than the imposition of prior imprisonment.... [The proposed legislation relies] on a mode of constitutional discourse exceptionally hospitable to the authoritarian values of "order" and dangerously inimical to the libertarian values of "law. " Laurence Tribe, An Ounce of Detention: Preventive Justice in the World of John Mitchell, 56 Va. L. Rev. 371, 375 (1970). He concluded that "the acceptance of the [Nixon-Mitchell] proposal... would undermine the role of the Constitution as an embodiment of principled restraints on government. " Kansas v. Hendricks, 521 U.S. 346 (1997) at 376. Then-Senator Sam Ervin characterized the Nixon preventive detention proposal as "pervert[ing] the historic and legitimate purpose of bail-to assure the appearance of the accused at trial. " Sam J. Ervin, Jr., Preventive Detention, A Species of Lydford Law, 52 Geo. Wash. L. Rev. 113, 114 (1983).

    • Property law in part is concerned with preserving property, obviously. Tort law is designed in part to reduce harm to people and things. Contract law provides for the efficient trading of things of value and limits predatory behavior. Even election law and constitutional law have the interests of people and property as their objects; it is hard to imagine what other interests there might be to protect. For example, separation of powers matters not for the purity of the government but because of its pragmatic consequences for the citizenry.

    • Papachristou v. Jacksonville, 405 U.S. 156 (1972), casts doubt on vagrancy laws, but public order offenses made a comeback fifteen or so years later under the influence of James Q. Wilson and George Kelling's arguments about broken windows policing. Cf. James Q. Wilson & George L. Kelling, Broken Windows, Atlantic Monthly, Mar. 1982, at 29. These laws in turn were dealt a blow by City of Chicago v. Morales, 527 U.S. 41 (1999), striking down the Chicago gang ordinance. Immediately after the Morales decision, the Chicago City Council enacted a new anti-loitering, anti-gang statute tailored to respond to the case: Chicago, Ill. Mun. Code § 8-4-015 (1992).

    • The Statute of Westminster in 1275 eliminated the discretion of sheriffs (and thus, ultimately, of the King) with respect to which crimes would be bailable, conferring that decision on Parliament itself. Statute of Westminster I, 1275, 3 Edw. 1, c. 12 (Eng.). Bailable and non-bailable offenses were specifically enumerated. In the U.S., the Judiciary Act of 1789 provided that all noncapital offenses were bailable. Ch. 20, § 33, 1 Stat. 73, 91 ("[U]pon all arrests in criminal cases, bail shall be admitted, except where punishment may be death, in which cases it shall not be admitted but by the supreme or a circuit court, or by a justice of the supreme court, or a judge of a district court, who shall exercise their discretion therein.... ").

We cite this trend as starting in 1970 with Congress's passage of a pretrial detention statute as part of the District of Columbia Court Reform and Criminal Procedure Act of 1970, Pub. L. No. 91-358, 84 Stat. 473, 642 (1970) (codified in scattered titles and sections of the D.C. Code). This legislation made it much easier to deny bail on grounds of dangerousness. What began as a law for the District of Columbia was quickly extended nationwide.

    • Tribe, Nicholas J. G. Winter, Dangerous Frames: How Ideas About Race & Gender Shape Public Opinion 4 (2008), at 372 n.3. Similarly, David Rabinowitz claimed a few years later that "[s]tudies have revealed a low recidivism rate for individuals on bail. " David J. Rabinowitz, Preventive Detention and United States v. Edwards: Burdening the Innocent, 32 Am. U. L. Rev. 191, 201 (1982). The most recent figure for recidivism rates among those on bail who are convicted of crimes committed while on bail can be estimated at about 15%. Of those who are on bail, 21% were arrested for a new offense, and we can assume that 68% of those arrested will be convicted based on the general conviction rate. See Thomas H. Cohen & Brian A. Reaves, Felony Defendants in Large Urban Counties, 2002, at 24 tbl.23 (2002).

    • In 2000, there were some 13,000 murders committed in the U.S. U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2002, at 186 tbl.287, available at http://www.census.gov/prod/2003pubs/02statab/law.pdf (presenting 2000 statistics). Thirteen percent of them resulted in the arrests of bailees or fugitives. See Brian Reaves, Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Dep't of Justice, Violent Felons in Large Urban Counties (1990-2002), 4 tbl.5 (2006), available at http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/vfluc.pdf. Approximately one in every 152 persons on bail for a violent crime is charged with a murder committed while on bail. That is, 0.6% of these bailees were charged with homicide. By contrast, the likelihood that a randomly selected adult citizen was charged with murder in 2000 is 0.004%. See U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2011, at 205 tbl.323 (2011) (utilizing 2008 data), available at http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2011/tables/11s0323.pdf.

    • There is a lot of talk from criminal law theorists about such matters, but we are unaware of any study that convincingly sorts out such effects from other consequences of the criminal process, and certainly none that establishes that this is a concern of the citizenry as compared to the theorists. We are most definitely not saying that moral condemnation has no effects; the question is what the law does in addition to the moral condemnation emanating from individuals' own moral views. In our opinion, this is an example of where the rhetoric of the literature runs far ahead of any serious empirical support. Tom R. Tyler's Why People Obey the Law (1990 rev. 2006) is often cited in favor of various propositions about the moral force of the law. Tyler's main finding was that the perception of the law as legitimate did affect compliance (although he did not sort out deterrence effects adequately), but that the primary determination of the perception of legitimacy was procedural not substantive justice. That does not say much about the issues under examination here.

Don Stemen, Center on Sentencing and Corrections, Reconsidering Incarceration: New Directions for Reducing Crime (2007), available at http://www.vera.org/download?file=407/veraincarc_vFW2.pdf.
