I think we can all agree that many murderers end up committing their crimes partly because of a system that gives rise to poverty and the knock on effects of poverty on humans. However, I think most folks also agree that incarceration is an important factor in discouraging the commission of more murders. Not everyone does but even the most lenient countries tend not to let the perp off scott free.
Which is all to say that "the system made me do it" really doesn't fly as an excuse for felonious behavior.
