Actually I always wondered about that. Yeah battered spouse syndrome and all that, but shouldn't it be the victim's call? I mean, otherwise you're just violating the victim AGAIN to serve your own sense of justice. Anyways, I'm probably wrong about this and it a discussion for elsewhere but it really makes me wonder what LEO is doing if the victim doesn't want action taken. It seems absurd to me. 

Edit: Since this is the football part of the forum, I made a thread to discuss this over on PnR if anyone is interested.
