As for the griefers, I don't think most of them, or us, are psychotic. You can take security measures, and there isn't any real recourse of action, minus a "suspension" of your account. Until there is a governing body or law enforcement there won't be a slowdown in these griefers.
In the meantime, if it really pisses people off, you can learn lscript and create security boundaries or anti-spawn solutions. Hell I can search for "force field" and buy a cheap protective force field that will block physics objects. FYI, a lot of these hacks are requested permission hacks, especially if it modifies a users animations or something.
A few years ago when media convergence was at its rampant I was looking at what kind of new professions would emerge out of this in the media world and how one would write job descriptions. Now a days convergence is one of the key factors looked into by manufacturing companies. Although the job ad posted by Samsung is cool it is still missing some of the key attractions that would typically interest someone who leads a virtual life more than real life. And just an FYI Samsung has vested a lot of interest in virtual communities and invested pretty good real dollars into exploring this venue.
