Hi Jamie, thank you—I initially read Matt’s comment below as being part of this comment. So, thank you also for your astute point about the parcellation (?) of costs. Definitely needs more thought.
Yes I think Matt’s point is a specific example of what you might find if you split out (parcellate) the different forms of cost and assess how each is affected by the intervention. I was thinking, for example, that court or police costs are not divided by three by reducing the duration of the abuse by 3x, because they aren’t dealing with one third of the perpetrator.
