I think neither is an important answer, but to reach neither, we have a lot to do:
1) we need a lot of counseling to the family. The ability for the family to feel safe and move on from the trauma is critical. Otherwise the cycle continues.
2) We need a lot of counseling and empathy training for the perp. The ability to understand what they did, and feel remorse past just the consequences faced is critical.
The craziest thing I've seen is when a guy was part of an armed robbery, and due to technical reasons didn't serve any time. He ended up turning everything around and becoming a massive boon to the community. The point here is we need to do what is right to society.
3) We need to take a person-by-person approach to rehabilitation.
4) We need to invest a lot of time into rehavbilitation spychaiatrists and groups vs just criminalization. This works in many countries. The sweedish island prison where every prisoner there feels honored to be given a chance at a productive life rather than incarceration. There are no walls, guards, escapes. There is only rehab.
This is an incredibly complex and nuanced problem that doesn't sound wonderful yelling from a podium for political points. But that's the point, real change is hard and nuanced.
