You are so smart! Yes, another strategy to estimate the costs of crime utilizes a willingness to pay a “top-down” approach, which incorporates other elements such as fear of crime, constrained behaviors, and residual community costs. Cohen et al. (2010) present both top-down and bottom-up estimates for comparison purposes noting that the top-down approach is appropriate for estimating external or social costs whereas the bottom-up approach is more appropriate for estimating system costs. They found that preventing individuals from high-rate chronic offending would save more than $200 million (WTP costs) or more than $100 million (“bottom-up” costs) in costs imposed by their criminal behavior.

You may find more information with the below reference:

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
