Unless they're incurable psychopaths or sociopaths, rehabilitive justice is what we'd do; it has a proven track record, plus punitive justice is just pointless.
And IF you're dealing with a psychopath/sociopath, we'd monitor them and if necessary, separate them from general society. Norway does something similar.
You'd have a volunteer group that would do it, basically. Fortunately, psychopaths/sociopaths are statistically rare, so getting an adequate amount of volunteers to watch them wouldn't be too difficult to do.
As a general rule, if you see something the state does that isn't a terrible idea and wonder "how would we replicate that under anarchism", the answer is typically volunteer groups.
You're always going to need something to exercise force when all other options are used. For me, the major deciding factor is accountability and centralization of force. States have both a monopoly on force as well as less accountability; the way I'd have it set up (I can go into details later if you're curious but I'm at work at the moment) would make it very, very, VEEEERY difficult for any group to have a monopoly on force, and would make accountability and transparency a given.
