There is no need for punishment or incarceration, just put them down. If violent entities are only going to respawn elsewhere upon their death (preferably somewhere far away), then why is killing them such a big deal? It would help them with their karmic debts.
Or perhaps it would add more to their karmic debts and they will express more of that same violence or maybe even a greater one somewhere far away on other-selves which are not you and me in our current awareness.

To answer the post as a whole, Ra has said that the balanced entity's response to all things is love.
It was also said that love is known in a unique manner to each and that STO derives from how it is know. As such I can see a love-response that kills under the right circumstances just as a love-driven one that simply wishes to offer healing if healing is sought.
So it means that you have to leave your self get brutally beaten is that right ?
I actually have a friend who did exactly that. It's kind of funny to me my life has an example of this whole argument.
As the story goes he was staying in a motel up north, very cold. He is a guy who has gone to South America numerous times, spending about five years there in shamanic and healing modality training, he is one of the best shamanic healers I know. He said that there were three guys outside who had been waiting for a ride and like I said it was very cold out. They knocked on the door and asked if they could come in to wait to get out of the cold. My friend felt a little odd but being compassionate he let them in.
As it went there was some small talk and things started to feel a little awkward. Then my friend said something and either the guy misheard or intentionally 'misheard' and made some response about 'what did you say about my mother?', then the group proceeded to beat him bloody and then left. My friend made no attempt to retaliate and this is what he told me.
He told me that the man had been feeling immense amounts of pain and it was eating at him and welling up inside, waiting to explode. He said he was thankful that he was able to give the man a channel for his pain because using his healing abilities he can draw energy out from others. He saw it as being a situation in which he was able to help heal, even if the other man didn't realize it at the time. Obviously it was a brutal situation, but rather than be traumatized he took that catalyst and turned it in to a magical circumstance.
Obviously I don't necessarily recommend this approach to everyone but I do honour and respect it. I think my friend is on a true path to adeptship. In time he will balance his martyr tendencies as well and grow exponentially more aware of his abilities to heal. I miss that guy, haven't seen him in a long time.
