Notes: The dependent variable in all regressions takes the value 1 if the prosecutor declined the case and 0 otherwise. 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.
