It is the complainant system in English law. It is quite a good system. However, the Police treat complainants differently. Your middle class "respectable" complainant often gets his/her complaint investigated whereas the "plebs" get a cursory mucked up investigation by junior officers (sometimes good, sometimes bad, depending on their IQ and experience). The rebound on the complainants is frequent. Most people do not make unjustified or malicious complaints. It is usually the last resort. In harassment it is usually about the hundredth time that the perpetrator that has caused trouble, that the victim goes to the biggest gang in town. The Police can see a Pigeon/Snide a mile away.
However, there are cases where a complainant has branded an enemy and ruined their lives. If they have vigilante press and social workers on their side, these snides can be very dangerous. They can act the goodie-goodie and watch the mayhem they cause from the hole they live in.
