That's also what I observed but it's almost tautological, isn't it? If they were able/willing to realize it, they'd feel the need to change it, unless we're talking about severe psychopaths.

I think it's possible most times, and that no one should try. The victim is usually better-placed to do it and they don't deserve to waste part of their life for someone who causes them problems on purpose.
It may be a job for the mental health system, or for school in the long run, but that's a long shot. Or maybe we should focus on giving victims an escape. I'm not sure there's a good solution if we want to give all parents freedom.
