Thousands of violent crime suspects have been released in the past 12 months without any bail conditions.
It’s a result of a 28 day limit on bail being introduced last year.
This has raised concerns over the safety of victims and witnesses of violent crimes.

Over the past 12 months, over 3,000 people suspected of violent crime, murder, rape and sexual offences have been released on bail without conditions, according to the BBC.

Among them are 1,692 people arrested for violent crimes, 768 for rape charges, and 31 who were questioned on suspicion of murder.
