How to use "Hold responsible" in context?
When it comes to holding someone accountable for their actions, we must be careful not to punish the innocent. Some people may argue that punishing the innocent will lead to them reforming their behaviour, but this could not be further from the truth. Punishing the innocent will only worsen their situation and teach them that it is okay to break the law.
It is important to hold people accountable for their actions, but we must do so in a way that does not punish the innocent. We must design our systems and punishments in a way that will ensure that people are properly held accountable, but without hurting the people who are innocent.
