Yes. Blame is poisonous. Humans hate blame, they'll deflect blame onto the innocent, they'll lie and cheat, to avoid blame. The correct focus is prevention of future harm. Not "who is a bad person?" but "what will we do differently next time to avoid this outcome?".

In that frame suddenly the driver stops saying they weren't too drunk to drive and says next time they'll take a cab. The policeman stops saying the suspect "wasn't complying" and agrees that they need training on how to de-escalate situations.

Medicine does have tools for this, the M&M conference (medics discussing why somebody died or had a bad outcome and how to do better next time) is under-used.

Humans are fallible, blaming a specific human makes us feel better but does not prevent the same thing happening again.
