Can we promote good integrity by attacking and/or threatening people who lack any integrity? Do such attacks and/or threats merit respect?

Can any moral, ethical, or legalistic system give reliable guidance? How might attacks and/or threats of carefully chosen kinds promote either personal and/or communal integrity? How might such attacks/threats influence the people who lack integrity and/or the people of evil integrity so as to promote integrity?
