A lot of damage comes from society's tendency to make the following synonymous: "accused of" = "guilty", "being investigated for" = "guilty", "was arrested" = "guilty", "currently on trial for" = "guilty", and so on. It infuriates me how this is done over and over again with the media's help.
For starters it should NOT be public knowledge that someone has been arrested. Sweep that under the rug, let the trial happen, make it illegal to announce anything but guilty VERDICTS.
