It is much safer to instruct the aircraft going around to turn than to issue an instruction to stop, particularly where judgement of speed is an issue: the NTSB report at the 2nd link refers to 100kts as the boundary between low and high speed.
A high speed abandonment is a "sporty" event: uncomfortable and alarming for passengers and stressful on the brakes. Accident statistics indicate that a high speed rejection is potentially more dangerous than taking a problem in to the air e.g. an engine fire. Link
