Why do victims of narcissists end up in trouble with the police?

Victims of narcissists may end up in trouble with the police due to manipulative tactics employed by the narcissist, such as gaslighting or false accusations. The victim's emotional turmoil and confusion can lead them to react in ways that attract legal scrutiny. Additionally, narcissists often portray themselves as innocent and may involve authorities to maintain control or discredit the victim. As a result, the victim may find themselves in difficult situations that escalate and lead to police involvement.
