More than one in three prisoners in Australia are on remand, double that of two decades ago. This project aims to investigate how risk management in new bail regimes affects accused individuals experiencing social disadvantage. It employs innovative critical criminological methods to generate much-needed knowledge about how criminal justice actors interpret and respond to risk in the bail decision-making process, and 'lived' experiences of bail conditions and remand imprisonment. Expected outcomes include a new framework for conceptualising risk in the context of bail. This should bring significant benefits to policymakers and law reformers seeking to reduce imprisonment and its impacts on disadvantaged groups.

澳大利亚的三分之一囚犯中有超过三分之一的囚犯已被还押，这是二十年前的两倍。该项目旨在调查新保释制度中的风险管理如何影响被指控的社会劣势的人。它采用创新的批判性犯罪学方法来产生有关刑事司法行为者如何在保释决策过程中解释和应对风险的急需的知识，并“生活”保释条件的经历和押权。预期的结果包括保释背景下概念化风险的新框架。这应该为寻求减少监禁及其对处境不利群体的影响的政策制定者和法律改革者带来重大利益。
