She's a casualty, but not one of his victims. There's a strong difference between Christine killing herself over the way Arthur treated her and the jumper victims. The jumper victims, while they were forced to kill themselves, are murders due to the way Trinity abducts, manipulates and threatens their families if they don't release themselves. The reason they have to die this way is due to Arthur's mother Marsha having killed herself in that same way...otherwise, he'd probably throw them off.

Christine was an emotional wreck, she'd been dealing with the fact that she tried to please her father by killing Frank Lundy but in the process this caused Arthur a whole deal of trouble that made him insult her for everything she did. Ontop of problems with Arthur, she was dealing with her emotions she felt for Joey Quinn...and the guilt in not only having shot Debra but also taking someone from Deb that she truly loved (Lundy). Her suicide was built upon a lot of emotions, not just Arthur...he didn't stand there and tell her to kill herself, she made the decision all her own based on the emotions straining her.
