How bad do you have to be to be refused bail?

The Bail Act 1976 asserts a presumption in favour of bail for all people
awaiting trial except those on charges of murder, attempted murder,
manslaughter, rape or attempted rape. The legislation presumes that an
individual will be remanded on bail with various conditions attached unless
there are strong reasons to remand them into custody. These include:

- They have been accused of carrying out a particularly serious offence
*
- They have previous convictions for similar offences

- There are reasons to believe that they could disappear before their trial.

- They have been accused of carrying out a particularly serious offence

- There are reasons to believe that they may interfere with witnesses

- They is a belief they are likely to commit further offences before their
trial
