    To my mind, "stopping" villains can simply mean removing their power bases and ability to function. See also: The fate that befell Andy Griffith's "Lonesome" Rhodes character, at the end of Elia Kazan's A Face in the Crowd.


Villains without power bases tend to come back with new ones. And "stopping" a villain doesn't neccessarily punish for previous crimes. "Ha! Gotcha! Now you can't rape and murder any more kids!" isn't really a great resolution.
