A natural experiment In the last decade pre-charge bail (PCB) has been subject to unprecedented scrutiny. Conflicting public policy decisions have been made on the basis that PCB prevents harm. Despite this, there has to date been no empirical examination of the relationship between PCB and crime-related harm. Utilizing bail law reform in 2017 as a natural experiment, this study draws on two comparable samples (n = 746), derived from the Metropolitan Police Service. Analysis indicated no statistically significant difference between harm caused by suspects whilst under investigation before versus after the law change, despite an 85.4 per cent reduction in arrestees being subject to bail. Findings may serve to undermine oft-confident assertion in the public policy arena that it is axiomatic that bail prevents harm. Further, this constitutes a nascent empirical evidence base regarding PCB that enables further research on this under-examined subject.
