By the same logic, you would also jail the parents, teachers and employers of a murders, because they also "supported" the criminal.
If your 401k invested in VW - which is very likely - are you also supporting its criminal activity?

That is to say, if mutual funds (which your 401k likely comprises) stand to lose significantly to unethical behavior, then they will be a LOT more choosy about who to invest in.
Your argument to the extreme about jailing parents/teachers is missing my discussion point.
It's not deterministic but it does create a positive feedback loop of ethics compliance.
