    This article discusses the implications of believing that free will does not exist. If humans are simply products of their environment and genetics, then the concepts of moral responsibility, blame, and retributive punishment lose their meaning. However, society still requires mechanisms of social control, so alternative systems like rehabilitation and incapacitation would need to replace retribution to maintain order and safety.
