Somewhat related: If you are into Anime there is one I know of with a very similar premise: Break Blade (or Broken Blade). Protagonist lacks the ubiquitous power to control crystals upon which most technology is based and looks/acts like magic.

Thinking about crime and punishment: While people may still try to enforce house arrest as punishment, it's complicated by the fact that peoples locations are reset everyday. This can give some people an incredible advantage of being impossible to secure/detain. Remoteness: Though as Samuel says, being too remote (i.e. having few or no people within 24 hours travel) could or, more likely, would drive them insane.
