There are seriously disturbed people out there and I'm not sure you can rehabilitate most of them in any way. They should get what they give. I work at a residential home for boys in "the system" and the stories of abuse and neglect get your blood boiling for sure.
On Pit Bulls, I'm convinced it is an owner treatment and breeding issue. Many are abused. Some are bred to be aggressive, etc.
My buddy found this sweetie downtown lost. Bad skin infection, tumor that needed removal. Nails so long they were curling back under her paw pads. Rotten tooth that needed to be removed. He's taken her in and she is the sweetest and most gentle animal. Immediately bonded to him and his wife.
