My impression from the article is more that they're not doing any kind of garbage-in assessment: nobody is making sure they're getting answers about the right person (eg: some women date more than one guy) and some women don't feel safe giving accurate answers to the police, and there aren't good failsafes available for when it's wrong; you're forced to hire legal counsel and pursue a change via the courts.
That and, their action for low-risk is all wrong. The stakes are too high to not give someone help, regardless of the risk level.
