Omschrijving
'Shima Baradaran Baughman has written a thoughtful and comprehensive study of an often-overlooked aspect of the criminal justice system. The Bail Book is an important work that should be required reading for criminal justice reformers.' Orin Kerr, Frances R. and John J. Duggan Distinguished Professor of Law, University of Southern Carolina Law School
'Shima Baradaran Baughman has written a thoughtful and comprehensive study of an often-overlooked aspect of the criminal justice system.

Duggan Distinguished Professor of Law, University of Southern Carolina Law School
'This book is a brilliant exposé of pretrial detention in the United States. It documents a subterranean regime that needlessly incarcerates thousands of individuals, most of them poor, many of them innocent, and a disproportionate number of them black, because the bail industry profits from it and legislators and judges either will not mandate, or are ignorant of, the legal and scientific tools that can address the problem.' Christopher Slobogin, Milton Underwood Professor of Law, Vanderbilt University, Tennessee
'Civil libertarians will predictably love this homage to the Eighth (and Sixth) Amendments but what may be less obvious is why the book is valuable to those of us committed to promoting justice and preventing injustice. Professor Shima Baradaran Baughman shows how more informed and thoughtful pretrial release decisions can reduce crime and avoid wrongful convictions. I recommend the book to anyone who cares about both fairness and justice.' Paul H. Robinson, Colin S. Diver Professor of Law, University of Pennsylvania, author of Shadow Vigilantes: How Distrust in the Justice System Breeds a New Kind of Lawlessness (2018)
Shima Baradaran Baughman is Professor of Law in the S. J. Quinney College of Law, at the University of Utah.
