Figure 6. Cost-Effectiveness of Community-wide and Spatially focused Interventions.

Figure 6

The figure shows the reduction in offenses per unit cost, assuming that the cost of an intervention is proportional the percent of activated adults. Spatially focused interventions reduce offenses more cost-effectively than community-wide intervention if fewer than about 2.5% of adults are activated, but community-wide interventions provide a relatively constant reduction in offenses for intervention that activate up to 10% of adults, whereas the cost-effectiveness of spatially focused intervention declines significantly as the intensity of the intervention increases.
