Yes. Not necessarily if they just try though. It takes hard work.

The Chinese Communists after WW2 took a bunch of the most heinous Japanese War criminals and turned them into lifelong peace activists and anti-imperialists.

They did it with patience and kindness that was still firm and unyielding.
