In my entire adult life I have not once heard a sex assault victim ever go from triage to psych ward due to anger expressed at the perpetrator and where there is no known existing medical condition that impairs judgment . Domestic violence and sex assault victims are released within hours or minutes with a card to call victims assistance and they will come bedside or to the persons house if they are interested which often times they ( the survivor ) are not . Domestic violence has a different protocol and much more standard because females in long term violent relationships are murdered and so are their children once they return . I can't think of any law that tells someone who they can love even with threats of children's removal , severe and permanent injury or incarceration will not stop a woman in love with her abuser . This is not Stockholm syndrome nor does it resemble it in anyway .
I have not heard of one case In British Columbia where a woman retaliated against her abuser and was charged and convicted and sentenced for that crime
In cases of domestic violence towards the female in canada it is extremely rare where the woman snaps and kills her domestic partner . I'm not saying it doesn't or hasn't happened its just so rare that I really would not consider this a main worry for law enforcement . The fact is that if the woman ends up injured in the hospital from domestic violence it is almost a given if she returns to that partner she will most likely leave the hospital only to return ( eventually ) in a body bag .
