  1. Notes: Non-UK national is a dummy variable equal to one when the nationality of the individual is not UK. The Age Fixed Effects are for eight age bands: 0 to 9, 10 to 15, 16 to 24, 25 to 34, 35 to 49, 50 to 64, 65 to 74 and older than 74. Sample size is the number of cells (a cell is a combination of nationality status: either UK or Non-UK, age band and borough). Robust standard errors in parentheses. Data on arrests from the Metropolitan Police Service and population from the APS.
