Replication Data for: "Misdemeanor Disenfranchisement? The demobilizing effects of brief jail spells on potential voters"

This replication package contains data and code to replicate the analyses presented in "Misdemeanor Disenfranchisement? The demobilizing effects of brief jail spells on potential voters" and its online appendix. Contact Ariel White ([e-mail]) with questions. This replication package includes merged and deidentified datasets that allow for the reproduction of nearly all of the analyses presented in the main paper and SI. However, I have not included the raw court records data out of concern that circulating criminal-history data could eventually make life more difficult for some of the people named in those records (especially if they manage to have their records expunged and my dataset does not reflect that). Instead, I include the scripts I used to get from the raw data to the merged dataset included here, so others can judge the merging process. See the readme file for more details.

本复现数据包包含用于复现《轻罪剥夺选举权？短期监禁对潜在选民的动员抑制效应》（Misdemeanor Disenfranchisement? The demobilizing effects of brief jail spells on potential voters）及其在线附录中所呈现分析的全部数据与代码。如有疑问，请联系Ariel White（邮箱：[e-mail]）。本复现数据包包含合并后的去标识化数据集，可用于复现主论文与补充材料（Supplementary Information，即SI）中的绝大多数分析内容。但本数据包未包含原始法庭记录数据，原因在于：公开传播犯罪历史数据，可能会对记录中涉及的部分人员后续生活造成不便——尤其是当这些人员成功申请将自身记录封存后，本数据集并未同步反映这一变化。取而代之的是，本数据包提供了从原始数据处理至本数据包内合并数据集的全部脚本，以供他人评估数据合并流程。更多细节请参阅自述文件（readme file）。
