Depending on bullet design there are times when higher velocity has less penetration than lower velocity. 357 soft points would penetrate less than 38spl soft points. Then their is the possibility that a bullet that goes through 12 inches of mass is going be non lethal once it exits. There have been very few cases of people injured by bullets that have excited center mass. Most innocent bystanders injured have been from shots that did not connect.
IMO the best method to prevent innocent bystanders being killed, or severely injured is being better shooters.
