Correct me if I'm wrong (and IANAL), but I believe it doesn't matter if the injured party does or does not want to pursue criminal charges. That matters for civil charges, but not criminal charges. Those are made at the discretion of the District Attorney.
The injured party can influence the DA's decision of course, but ultimately it's his/her call.
