detener a los culpables

Las distintas comunidades y los órganos judiciales tienen la obligación de paliar la violencia doméstica y detener a los culpables.

Also instead of "culpables" maybe "responsables".

"hold" as in hold in jail, held by the justice.
"perpetrator" is "causante de un crimen", culpable o responsable.

I think my translation is pretty straight forward. It´s a kind of language you could find in a newspaper article.
(From a Spanish native speaker)

disagree Maria : no, they are not talking about holding them in jail, but holding them responsible for their acts
