Both absolve any action an individual takes. But one blames society at large and the other blames innate human behavior. We could, presumably, improve society.
We can improve society by changing the system and by addressing the root cause. Accountability, in the sense of punishment after the fact, does little to improve it and is often counter-productive (see e.g. how the US prison system breeds more crime).
