Metadati delle pubblicazioni
This exploratory study on pre-trial detention was commissioned by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Justice and Consumers as an update to a 2016 study on a potential measure on pre-trial detention. Even though some Member States have a low percentage of pre-trial detainees compared to the overall prison population, it is widely acknowledged that it is an important problem within the EU. According to Eurostat, in 2019, the last year of which data is available, there were a total of 92,194 people in pre-trial detention in EU Member States, reflecting an 11.8% rise since 2014. Pre-trial detention is widely perceived as one of the most important problems in the field of criminal procedure at EU level. There is an important body of case law and international standards stemming from the Council of Europe, the European Convention on Human Rights, as interpreted and refined by the European Court on Human Rights. Pre-trial detention is intended to be an exceptional measure, limited in time and should only be ordered when there are no possible alternatives based on certain grounds. The Council of Europe’s Recommendation on this matter states that pre-trial detention can only be ordered when the following conditions are fulfilled: - there is reasonable suspicion that the person has committed an offence; - one of the following grounds for pre-trial detention exist: there are substantial reasons for believing that, if released, they would either: abscond, or commit a serious offence, or interfere with the course of justice, or pose a serious threat to public order; - there is no possibility of using alternative measures to address the concerns referred to above.
