If you want to treat crime through a disease model, then you should quarantine the infected and prevent transmissions, eg by them victimizing more people.
Somehow, that part of medicine never makes it into these “alternatives” — which makes claims of “systems thinking” or “crime as disease” sound like shallow pretenses for performative virtue rather than legitimate considered policy.
