Notes: Models were estimated using logistic regression (convicted to a lesser misdemeanor) and multinomial logistic regression (probability of being convicted of a lesser charge for felonies, omitted not dropped to a lesser charge). Models controlled for race/ethnicity (white (omitted), black, other race/ethnicity), woman’s age (16–18,19–24,25–34, 35–55 (omitted)), number of previous misdemeanor convictions, number of previous felony convictions, most severe offense class charged (Class 3 (omitted), Class 2, Class1, Class A1) for misdemeanor model, and higher than an H felony for felony model, disposed year fixed effects, and 2009 judicial district fixed effects. For models of probability of being convicted of a lesser charge, 17,830 women-disposed-dates were excluded from the regression due to missing information on charge and/or conviction class.
