Most of them aren't worth the effort. You're too... bloody hell. Gracious in how you see others, Detective. If someone is easily swayed over something because they have no personal convictions, it's one thing to the next. Like an addict. You can force them to clean up because you feel it's best for them, but if they don't have any cause or conviction of their own, any reason to want to not do what they're doing, they'll either go back to it or find something new to get lost into.

Besides, I never said any such thing about them being forced into it. If something truly is capable of mentally forcing someone to do their bidding, well... that's the antithesis of free will, and I'm not for that. But there are many in this world and every other out there that are open to suggestion, and those ones, Detective, cannot be saved outside of their own wanting. No matter how much your heart bleeds for them, they are their own worst enemies.
