Making it impossible for people who're being abused to go to the police without risking at least one of arrest, homelessness, or having their children taken away, is not a net win.

The idea that making it easier to contact the police about the genuinely coercive stuff would somehow make it easy for the people doing the coercion isn't logical.

You can see the process play out just the same with illegal immigrants - they're also massively more open to abuse from employers because they don't have full access to the criminal justice system.
