The Sunday Times 10/10/2021 News A Victim-Centred Cost–benefit Analysis of A Stalking Prevention Programme 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. Crime Science Journal 9/10/2021 Research article Sexual Violence Survivors’ Experiences With the Police and Willingness to Report Future Victimization Sexual assault is a highly underreported crime with many survivors feeling dissatisfied regarding their contact with the police. While procedural justice can improve police interactions, it has received little consideration concerning its potential to improve the experiences of sexual assault survivors. We explore the relationship between interactions with detectives during an investigation and survivors’ willingness to report to the police in the future through a procedural justice framework using a U.S. community sample of sexual assault survivors. Quantitative data show willingness to report future crimes when survivors perceived adherence to procedural justice in their interactions with the detective(s). Qualitative data indicated that future reporting was influenced by the treatment survivors received by the police as well as other factors (e.g., altruistic motives, ability to self-advocate). We discuss implications for policing practices based on our findings to improve access to justice for survivors that minimizes risk of secondary victimization.
