The Importance of Understanding Why the Criminal Did What They Did

I think the emphasis nowadays is put on us understanding why the criminal did this. The emphasis should be on getting the criminal to understand why what they did was disgusting and should never be tolerating. But I'm concerned with the child that was abused growing up to become an abuser. Once you become an abuser, our only concern was how do we lock you away from everybody else and get you to stop. So what we just have to do is lock them up away from everyone else so that they're not capable of doing finding some way to neutralize the threat.
