Research suggests that stalking inflicts great psychological and financial costs on victims. Yet costs of victimisation are notoriously difficult to estimate and include as intangible costs in cost–benefit analysis. This study reports an innovative cost–benefit analysis that used focus groups with multi-agency teams to collect detailed data on operational resources used to manage stalking cases. This method is illustrated through the presentation of one case study. Best- and worst-case counterfactual scenarios were generated using the risk assessment scores and practitioner expertise. The findings suggest that intervening in high-risk stalking cases was cost-beneficial to the state in all the case studies we analysed (even if it incurs some institutional costs borne by the criminal justice system or health) and was often cost-beneficial to the victims too. We believe that this method might be useful in other fields where a victim- or client-centred approach is fundamental.

跟踪预防计划的以受害者为中心的成本收益分析

研究表明,跟踪会给受害者带来巨大的心理和经济成本。然而,众所周知,受害成本难以估计,并在成本效益分析中作为无形成本包括在内。本研究报告了一项创新的成本效益分析,该分析使用焦点小组和多机构团队来收集有关用于管理跟踪案件的运营资源的详细数据。通过一个案例研究的介绍来说明这种方法。使用风险评估分数和从业者的专业知识生成了最佳和最坏情况的反事实情景。研究结果表明,在我们分析的所有案例研究中,干预高风险缠扰案件对国家来说具有成本效益(即使它会产生一些由刑事司法系统或卫生部门承担的机构成本),并且通常对受害者也是。我们相信这种方法可能在其他以受害者或以客户为中心的方法为基础的领域中很有用。
