Steve Cullen: Criminal lawyer on convictions for crimes by people on bail rise
from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB
Belief attitudes towards bail is a reflection of a global decline in law and order. Convictions for crimes carried out by someone on bail rose by almost 12-thousand between 2015 and 2024. Amongst these, homicide and related convictions more than doubled to 25. Criminal lawyer Steve Cullen told Ryan Bridge a law-and-order decline stems from social media and leads to some not taking bail as seriously. However, he says 80-percent of people who are on electronically monitored bail for example, are compliant. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
