This reads more like a PR piece for a particular viewpoint and attempt to influence the debate with very preliminary and shallow data. Very scant evidence to support the headline and no details on what's behind the percentages. They are basing the conclusion on one months data in one section of NYC. 95% accepted care from the new unit v. 82% for traditional 911 with police. Are the types of cases the same? Did both groups include violent incidents? If not, have the police numbers been adjusted to carve out the violent cases? Why is accepting care a measure of success, and are the incidents resolved or will they be repeated and/or escalate in the future? E.g.., if the alleged spouse batterer gets a counseling session rather than jail time will it prevent the incident from occurring again ?
