I do think it's easy to have abstracted ideals... that do not conform in the least bit to practical reality.
What specific measures would you take to fix this problem that would not result in a trade-off and would be effective?

Sort of like (to draw from your parenting analogy) when a parent knows that their child is going down a path of destruction by their choices in life, but continues to love them anyway. Their love, however, doesn't stop the consequences of the child's choices from happening.

I agree. The mom of a murderer on death row can still love her child and still think that he needs to be punished for what he's done. That's what's not being considered here.
