I think it has pros and cons. I think it's better to have an objective person test, like what they have in Scotland, rather than trying to get someone to justify that their trauma is significant enough that it merits intervention. On the criminalization side, it also increases the risk of somebody from the outside looking at behaviours and saying, “Well, that seems to be problematic,” without really understanding the full context of what might be happening in that relationship.
