Why and on what grounds may a judge deny bail?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: When community safety is at stake, the government may deny bail and detain individuals believed to be
dangerous to society. Since the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the ?protective detention? of certain
individuals arrested by federal officers, many states have enacted similar statutes permitting the
detention pending trial of individuals arrested by state officers, who are believed to be dangerous.
However, to abide by the Due Process Clause, those acts are required to provide for a prompt detention
hearing similar to the Bail Reform Act of 1984.
