A (Plea) Offer You Can Refuse
Plea bargaining is ubiquitous in the United States, yet lack of data on rejected plea offers constrains empirical analysis. We compile novel data covering all initial plea offers for 23,000 felony cases in Philadelphia from 2012 to 2017. Our analysis yields three main insights.

The cumulative, population-based data generated over time by the PATH Study will contribute to the evidence base to inform FDA's regulatory mission under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act and efforts to reduce the Nation's burden of tobacco-related death and disease

When a single attempt to quit was evaluated, self-quitters' success rates were no better than those reported for formal treatment programs. Light smokers (20 or less cigarettes per day) were 2.2 times more likely to quit than heavy smokers. The cyclical nature…
