That seems a false dichotomy to me. As if you have to choose between either radical accountability or absolute dictatorship. Understanding what brings people to do bad things can actually prevent them from happening to a certain degree, simply saying "drugs are bad, m'kay" only condemns the deed and the person. The problem with this way of looking at people is that it assumes we're fully rational beings. This is what neo-liberalism and Christianity share with each other, they assume full free will, the sin belongs to the sinner alone. I get angry just like any other person when someone breaks into my car or my home and I believe they should be punished. But if problems become structural, structural solutions are necessary.
