Repeat violent criminals should have the option (and be encouraged) to have elective castration to reduce their sentencing. This will hopefully reduce their violent impulses and reduce their progeny.
Relatives should be somewhat culpable for the repeat violent crimes of their parents/children/siblings, anyone who shares at least 50% of their genes. With, of course, escape clauses if they're distant, estranged, or never heard of them.
Religion should be as personal as sexual behaviour.

I'm sure there's plenty of reasons it wouldn't work when attempted in a real world culture, let alone the resistance from getting laws about it passed. Such lovely and fun ideas in that trilogy! Second IMHO only to the Culture novels in terms of semi-realistic deep social world building.
