The reading is not accurate the very moment:
1) the victim was not planning to do anything until she got cornered (she was still treated as a criminal by the system, even before she fell down and reached the tanks with the lighter).
2) Akane could reason her, and lower her psycho pass level to "paralyzer mode".
These 2 points are self evident the system is moment based, with little to absolutely no concern for circumstances or even "actual" reading of the individual thoughts and psyche.
And no, the initial recommendation wasn't to paralyze the victim to treat her: it was to paralyze a "latent criminal" and use the therapy afterwards, the very same way they had to deal with the abducting rapist. Which means the system makes -no- distinction.
And the system did consider the victim as "not worthy to live", by the enforcer layman terms, which translated into lethal mode. Therefore, simply because she was the victim who got shocked too much, she
-deserved to die like the criminal who abducted her-, and that's without any redemption possible, which was proved otherwise by Akane's actions.
No matter how you look at it, the system is anything but accurate.
