Table 2.

Impact of modelled interventions on proportion of population experiencing violence.

Description Parameter change Proportion experiencing recent violence at equilibrium % reduction from baseline
Baseline 77.3% (66.5–83.3%)
Remove homelessness entirely βI = 0 54.0% (36.3–67.5%) 29.8% (14.5–50.2%)
Cease all police displacement ηI = 0 43.7% (16.3–61.8%) 42.7% (23.2–77.4%)
Remove homelessness and cease all police displacement βI = 0; ηI = 0 25.2% (13.2–37.7%) 67.3% (53.1–81.1%)
Additional housing rate as seen in housing first24 αI = αB + 1.8 73.5% (59.9–80.5%) 5.1% (2.14–11.4%)
Reduce police displacement rate by 39% ηI = 0.61ηB 74.2% (63.0–80.9%) 3.9% (2.35–6.92%)
Additional housing and reduce policing together αI = αB + 1.8; ηI = 0.61ηB 69.6% (55.5–77.1%) 10.2% (5.91–19.6%)
Remove difference in policing between homeless and not homeless θI = 1 63.1% (43.3–74.6%) 17.9% (8.0–38.5%)
Being housed allows 5% to transition to indoor work and reduces violence See supplementary methods; π and κ 75.2% (65.1–81.1%) 2.7% (2.03–3.33%)
Being housed allows 50% to transition to indoor work and reduces violence See supplementary methods; π and κ 56.9% (51.5–59.9%) 26.5% (22.6–28.2%)
Being housed allows 75% to transition to indoor work and reduces violence See supplementary methods; π and κ 46.5% (43.9–48.1%) 39.8% (34.2–42.4%)
Increase rate of housing as seen during COVID-19 lockdown αI = 12 66.8% (51.2–75.8%) 13.5% (6.91–25.2%)
Increase rate of policing as seen in COVID-19 lockdown ηI = 3.2ηB 81.9% (71.6–87.4%) Increase by 5.7% (3.55–9.94%)
Both COVID-19 changes together αI = 12; ηI = 3.2ηB 76.8% (63.6–83.8%) 0.7% decrease (8.7% decrease–4.1% increase )

Median and 95% CrI from the 1000 model fits are shown. Subscripts B and I indicate baseline and intervention parameters.
