Commendation and reprimand is one of the million of things that determine what we do.If I'm not responsible for my good/bad choices then I can't be commended/reprimanded justly. How then is this not a reason to do away with laws/accountability? There wouldn't be anything/anyone to be accountable for or to. It's a massive problem that I hope you can eventually see.
Believing that we don't have free will doesn't render morality and judgment meaningless, but it does mean that you can't really say someone is evil. The more you see what caused something to happen, the less likely you are to judge a person to be bad. It doesn't mean you can't say their acts are detrimental. It happens in court all the time - even murder can be understood if the circumstances were such and such. But it may still be right to send people to jail.
