someone i know was almost murdered by her boyfriend, she managed to get away and call the emergency number, but they wouldn't come even then
i'm sure police work can be demoralizing, but that doesn't make it right
often it's a really big step already to report it at all, because that could escalate the situation further

and yes having nowhere else to go is often a problem as well, abusive partners tend to get in the way of job and education opportunities, try to maximize dependency
