And that's the very problem: the system has a set score to define normal individual apart from latent criminals. Which means: simply for being brutalized/raped, she is categorized as a latent criminal, the -very same- category than the man who abducted her (who turned "in the danger line" only after being shot once and going on rampage).

My point is, they don't have anything to fear as long as they are under that margin. If they are above it, then they are latent criminals and everyone would know about including themselves, so what? We can't say anything (either positive or negative) about that as long as we don't know about how the therapy works and the ojective social consequences. People might not react like that guy, and not everyone would provoke someone with a high CC like he did with that woman ... and not everyone will have a gun pointed at them if they calmly accept to take the therapy in the first place.

How can you soundly explain it is no biggy? You do realize that even the slighest violence can lead to severe psychological stress? Do you really think humans mind will readily accept to be paralyzed/tazed, despite they did -nothing wrong-?

And no, the enforcers did not offer the therapy whatsoever: they immediately pointed the gun with paralyzer mode on her, without even suggesting the therapy and whatnot, and the series implies heavily the therapy is -not- a cake walk.
So your point doesn't stand at all: the very moment you menace a victim, under the premise they are as dangerous as latent criminal despite they did nothing wrong, is the proof of the very flaw of the system: it does not set apart victims and criminals, and the former can be punished because they were involved.

What? if she failed to calm her down she'd have burned herself and Kogami down! But if you were talking about when she first time tried to do it (when she was around 162), then again what about it? At that time the system didn't allow her to be killed so it's not a problem.

What about it? Look, the woman CC level was around 101, and she panicked after the rapist told her about it, which obviously increased her stress level by a colossal margin.
The simple knowledge of such system that will also punish you despite being the victim is by no means a laughing matter: no matter what you do, if your psycho pass is too high, you are just as bad as the criminal.
Therefore, the very existence of the system is a source of stress and fear that can lead to punishment for the innocent as well, which is not supposed to be, but still used that way.
