Not having a free will doesn’t prevent us from holding people accountable. Nor do we need to live the lie to do so. Frankly, a better understanding of human behavior…say…in the case of incompetents, has helped us to hold people accountable in ways that aren’t pure punitive vengeance seeking.
We may fine a person for stealing a loaf of bread when they’re starving….but we don’t cut off their hands. It won’t stop them from committing another crime of desperation anyway.
The fantasy of crime being an issue of bad people freely willing this or that has been a disaster, historically speaking.
