Notes: The dependent variable in Columns 1–3 takes the value 1 if the defendant was sentenced to jail and 0 otherwise; the dependent variables in Columns 4 and 5 are the same but for prison sentences. All estimates are odds ratios based on a logit regression. Estimates are reported with 95% confidence intervals in brackets, and estimates significant at the 5 percent level are highlighted in bold. For variables that are included in the regressions but not shown, see the note to Table 3.
