Note

• "March 2010."
• "A primary objective was to assess the extent to which defendants rely on the services of commercial bail bondsmen, but the process of posting cash bail was examined as well. The research covers cases that were arraigned during 2005 in the four largest boroughs, excluding cases in Staten Island and in the City's two community courts: the Midtown Community Court in Manhattan and Red Hook Community Center in Brooklyn. Characteristics of cash versus bond releases were examined, and the likelihood of posting a bond was modeled using multivariate logistic regression. Detailed information is included for bonds in Brooklyn and Manhattan. In the next phase of the research, comparable information will be collected for bonds in the Bronx and Queens."- P. 2.
