The Bail Reform Act of 1984 replaced an act by the same name that was originally passed in 1964. The updated version of the law closed loopholes that were left open in the 1964 law. It allows for criminals to be detained if they are deemed to be violent and a threat to the community. If the court denies the defendant bail they must issue a written report as to why with facts.
