Having a reason for the behaviour doesn't always excuse the behaviour. There are healthy ways to cope with past trauma so that you don't harm other people. I agree that in most cases, figuring out the cause of the behaviour and addressing it is more productive than punishment. Still, the end goal should be changing the behaviour.
