Accepting punishment that man deems worthy for said crime=acknowledging you are a sinner and asking for forgiveness.
"Thy will be done" ring a bell?
You have absolutely no idea what scapegoating is do you? Way to spend pages arguing against a word you have absolutely no concept of. At this point I realize exactly why you don't feel that this whole vicarious redemption business is scapegoating...........Here, I'll help.

You don't have any choice in whether or not you accept the legal ramifications of any given act. There are those who turn themselves in, what they have done is illegal. Illegal does not equal sinful. Turning one's self into the authorities is not an apology (nor is it an acknowledgement of "sin", or request for forgiveness). Epic fail, again.
