Not quite. Overall, violent felony re-arrest did not change - or might have slightly decreased - for people who judges can no longer set bail for or detain (see bar chart on p.13 and the table below on the same page).
Doesn't change the fact that there is certainly room for improvement, but the doomsday stories about the effects of bail reform on violent crime increases are certainly BS.
