In my opinion, this discussion is way too academic, abstract, and one-sided. How about we focus on victims and their survivors?
It seems that victims and their survivors already have a wellspring of support, but not as much effort on reducing the number of perpetrators and victims in our society.
We are focused on 'righting' the wrong rather than actually fixing it. Of course, you could incarcerate or execute these individuals, but that would not be a fix in the same way that starving people to death is a way of 'solving' the famine.
Individuals, no matter how much 'free will' or 'agency' they have, are all subjected to cause and effect.
