It’s actually a question with a binary solution set.

Either people are responsible for their actions, or they are not.

If they are not, they have no claim on liberty.

You've just described the theories put forth by the philosopher B.F. Skinner

I don't ascribe to his theories, but they are compelling nevertheless. His novel "Walden Two" is a good read.
