Well I guess that's to be expected when the enforcers themselves are recruited because they have a high criminality potential.They get to legally shoot someone!

Well they mentioned they were short on staff so they might be reaching for recruits,though I think you're underestimating Akane a little,she was traumatized but still made a decision:she shot the enforcer,I'd say it takes some guts to do that on your first day of work. (btw what would her psychopass reading be at that instant?)
Ideally though she wouldn't have asked him not to shoot the victim but ordered him to since she is his superior.
But still,she used the enforcers to neutralize the rapist and when en enforcer was overdoing it she saved a victim,though obviously it seems her employers don't agree about that last part

What intrigues me more though is how Akane is clueless about the whole system,she acts surprised at a whole lot of info she's given,but I would think that the general population would know how the law enforcement system of the place they live in works,not all the details but at least the basics.

Well since you mention it,one of Urobuchi's early work,Jouka no Monshou, is an equilibrium fanfic.
