Should we put murderers to death, or give them medals?

If you look into the history of most people in prison for murder, you will see that mostly they come from horrible backgrounds filled with abuse and neglect.
Some could easily bring up the argument that many people come from dysfunctional homes and are just fine. With that being the case, then maybe society should focus on trying to educate people to not procreate so quickly (or even at all) if the home isn't as stable as it can possibly be. That's just my take on a possible "solution", because after the damage is done and the crime has been committed, in many cases, it's just too late after that to do much of anything about it except to punish the person for the crime committed.
