Suddenly a lot more interested in this study since my city of Chicago seems to now be taking it as a policy recommendation. https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2021/3/28/22355204/foxx-says-new-study-backs-her-stance-too-many-misdemeanors-case-brought-court https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2021/3/28/22355204/foxx-s... Has anyone read through enough to determine how they control for certain cities being more lenient than others? If a criminal is more likely to get their first misdemeanor conviction in San Antonio than in Seattle, wouldn't it follow that the perp is more likely to 're-offend' since San Antonio (presumably) arrests more offenders in general than Seattle.
