Note: This table reports triple-differences regression estimates of the effect of the repeal on crimes, allowing for the possibility of negative or positive crime spillovers from neighboring days or neighboring jurisdictions. Specification 1 measures the effects of the repeal on affected Sundays and the Saturdays and Mondays preceding and following these days. Specification 2 measures the effect of the repeal on affected jurisdictions allowing for separate impacts in neighboring jurisdictions. There are 7 neighboring jurisdictions potentially affected by the 2004 law change and 9 additional neighboring jurisdictions affected by the 2008 law change. Each specification/column reports coefficients from a unique regression. The samples includes all jurisdictions in Virginia and N=387167. See notes forTable 2.
