Who is more at fault?

The one who does bad or the ones who support and encourage bad even when they themselves don't do bad.

Bad people seem to date people who tolerate, promote or enable their bad behaviors.

Depends how bad the bad is and what the one encouraging the behaviour gets out of it. Also depends on the competency of the perpetrator and of the encourager and how their relationship dynamic works
And a whole lot of other factors I would think

You used a getaway car, to drive your friends from a bank robbery, and one person was killed.

Are you guilty of armed robbery and murder, even if you did not rob the bank and fire the bullet?

Absolutely, as far as the law is concerned.

I say the one that promotes it because 9 times out of 10 the ones doing it wouldnt if they didnt have support of others

@Beautyinbroken i think both are at fault but one who does it intentionally more than who does it out of innocence. Blame should go to only bad ones, innocent shouldn't be blamed but both should be hold accountable for their actions.

@sahi81 Even law sometimes(rarely) considers forgiveness when it is proved that it was not intentional. But they should have repentance for their mistakenly wrong actions.

@ABCDEF7 i think our law should reduce punishment for people who did it out of innocence... I think highly developed euroepan countries have better law and punishment system than ours, they seem more forgiving and deal with reducing crimes in smarter ways.

@sahi81 The law considers and reduce punishment, but it has to proved.

both are guilty, but the level of guilt varies depending on the context and the consequences.

Both...They are a team
Either one can break the cycle

Great analogy!
Both are at fault, but the one does is worse.
But that changes depending on the crime.

The one who does bad is obviously more at fault—assuming we believe people should take responsibility for their own actions. Even if they are with "enablers", they chose that partner. The decision to do bad or not is still theirs.
