Joshua Norkin’s informative letter (NYLJ, Sept. 23) regarding better employment of the bail statute is well taken. It is interesting to note that although there has been a great deal of research regarding the rate of return when a defendant is released on her/his own recognizance, or when cash bail or insurance company bond is set, I am unaware of any research regarding the rate of return when alternate forms of bail are set by the court.
Inasmuch as the forms for such bail in Brooklyn Criminal Court were only recently updated after more than 40 years, I suspect there is not an adequate sample to conduct such research.
