Taken charitably, the policy is encouraging perpetrators to seek help - therapy I assume - to end the cycle. I would not interpret this as aiding a flight from justice, but I wish you luck in your investigation.

I see, I actually missed that line: "Perpetrators of domestic violence are also encouraged to seek assistance from Microsoft Cares."

That sentence leaves a lot unsaid about the consequences of taking such an action. It's almost certain that Cares is required by policy/legal to refer that to law enforcement.

"employees may be eligible for time off work or other accommodation to manage medical issues and other negative consequences arising from domestic violence."

It doesn't specify the time off and accommodations are just for victims.
