There can be room of improvement for the master to take countermeasures to prevent that but doesn't mean that the master is similar to someone who deliberately raised and groomed someone to be a criminal doing their dirty work. Or if someone generously feed a homeless and unknowingly made them sick due to the food being actually expired (e.g. a mistake in the clerk shop). While they can improve by double checking things more, doesn't mean that they're similar to someone who deliberately harmed others, regardless of reason.

Well, as far as I can judge, in the stories the heroes perceive such cases as their responsibility and strive to correct them. "The Hunted" with Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio del Toro is the first thing that comes to my mind. In real life, too many people are involved and, by and large, everything is decided individually. One teacher feels responsible for his students throughout their lives, another forgets their names immediately after graduation. But in the example with food, I am sure that if you bought the food, and a homeless person was poisoned, then the police will have complaints against you until there is evidence that the food was poisonous even before the purchase.
