Reprehensible,
blameworthy,
blamable,
guilty, and
culpable mean deserving reproach or punishment.
Reprehensible is a strong word describing behavior that should evoke severe criticism.
Blameworthy and
blamable
apply to any kind of act, practice, or condition considered to be wrong
in any degree
("conduct adjudged blameworthy"; "an accident for which
no one is blamable").
Guilty
implies responsibility for or consciousness of crime, sin, or, at the
least, grave error or misdoing ("guilty of a breach of etiquette").
Culpable is weaker than
guilty and is likely to connote
malfeasance or errors of ignorance, omission, or negligence ("culpable neglect").
