You are exactly correct. Solutions to protect society have to be respectful of everyone's rights, those who are ill, and those around them who suffer the impacts of the illness.

Agreed. But a people with those conditions, especially if they are untreated, may COMMIT crimes, and when they do so, they are not excused by having any of those conditions. (I emphasize "may," but sufficiently severe mental illness often leads to anti-social behaviors that may be criminal.)
