The real issue is that when people feel their safety is threatened, they have no idea what is or isn't an appropriate response. Their innate need to defend themselves is short-circuited by fear of reprisal from the government that's supposed to be protecting them. It doesn't help, either, that calling the cops and getting someone arrested is essentially inviting the bad guy to seek revenge when his lawyer gets him a get-out-of-jail-free card.
