One of the most significant factors in determining bail is the severity of the crime. Individuals charged with violent felonies, such as murder or assault, are more likely to have bail denied because of the seriousness of the offense and the potential danger they may pose to the public.

Courts will also consider whether the defendant is a flight risk. If there’s a likelihood that the individual may leave the jurisdiction to avoid trial, the judge may deny bail. Factors influencing this decision include the defendant's ties to the community, employment status, and previous instances of failing to appear in court.

If the court believes the defendant poses a danger to the community or specific individuals, they may choose to deny bail. This is especially common in cases involving domestic violence, stalking, or repeat offenses where the defendant’s release could endanger others.

Defendants with a history of prior offenses, especially those who committed crimes while on probation or parole, may also have bail denied. This reflects the court’s concern about the individual’s likelihood of reoffending or not complying with release conditions.

Certain laws or regulations may restrict eligibility for bail in specific cases. For example, federal laws often impose stricter rules for bail in cases involving drug trafficking, terrorism, or other high-profile crimes.
