I think it's a long way from being able to control anybody's mind so fully, particularly without long study of each subject. I don't know if it's even possible.
I can't really see how they would repress criminal urges. Would they wait for one to suddenly appear, and in the less-than-a-second it takes to perform it, somehow block it from getting to where it goes?
Most (if not all) actions are entirely spontaneous, including thoughts or thinking about something. The mind moves along spontaneously, and you (spontaneously) create reason and a 'history' for it.
