Read the article, “Guilty, but not Responsible.”

Consider and answer the following questions:
If science and philosophy can prove that a person does not have free will, should we punish criminals for crimes they commit?
Without the idea of free will, can anyone be held responsible for their actions?
Would this change if we could successfully predict that someone would commit a crime (but had not committed it yet). Would they be just as “guilty”?
