In his Civil Rights and Civil Liberties column, Christopher Dunn revisits the troubling practice of denying bail to arrestees deemed to pose a threat to public safety. He writes: "The deeply controversial nature of this form of preventive detention is largely lost in the current bail-reform debate, but it was only 30 years ago that the Supreme Court definitively addressed the issue.
