context: I've been a garbage man, street-cleaner, ditch-digger—" On the other side of the room, the jukebox came to life with a roar and a group of teen-agers scrambled to the dance floor. Feeling safe from hidden microphones because of the uproar, he leaned across the table and whispered in the girl's ear, "That's what I want to hire you for. A civilization weary of murder, robbery, kidnapping, counterfeiting, blackmail, rape, arson, and drunkenness had originated the CPA—Crime Prevention Association. There were no longer any prisons—CPA officials had declared loudly and emphatically that their job was to prevent crime, not punish it.

They weren't crimes because the DCT didn't complete the act, and if he didn't complete the act, that meant simply that the CPA had once again functioned properly. Joe discovered to his dismay that the girl was telling the truth when she said she was a sergeant in the WSDA.
output:  She was a part of the WSDA and obviously knew how to defend herself.
options:  She was a part of the CPA and didn't agree with his idea.  She was unable to accept his small payment for a large possible consequence.  She was a part of the WSDA and obviously knew how to defend herself.  She knew no one would believe that he had actually tried to rape her because of her status as a DCT.
