but should we really be putting the individual in the cross hairs without knowing what their story is

Hey so this serial killer who boiled his victims alive had a really sad upbringing. We should just call it a wash and let him back out on the streets right?

Learning what their story is might be good to do for a common thief, and maybe you'll choose to be sympathetic as opposed to angry at the loss of your material possessions, but at a certain level of depravity, I don't care what their story is. The victims of their atrocities don't care what their story is. They can tell their story to the devil before getting thrown in the lake of fire.
