suggestions to stop the pvp and capwhoring

It is because none of the Houses want Bounty Hunters in their space, period.
Or at the very least they expect BH to take the long way around via Unknown.
Bounty Hunters are being pushed out of the Core space towards the outer fringes.
The downside to this is as BH are pushed outward, the ability for the Houses to maintain a cooperative agreement weakens. Bounty Hunters will have to focus more on establishing resources and a base to work from for their own survival. This may be represented by a shift more towards being mercenaries then hired guns of the Houses. This may result in BH accepting contract hits against traders since a contract is a contract.

The result is that the Houses will get exactly what they want, no bounty hunter presence at all. This will allow the pirate factions more room for invasion into the House systems and a severe reduction in the economy of the houses due to lost trade.

Houses do not want to get rid of the Bounty Hunters (except maybe Kusari due to the Hogosha). They do not want capital ships not belonging to their house in their space (naturally, the US wouldn't exactly want a battleship captained and crewed by former convicts sailing happy-go-lucky in San Fransico Bay or around Manhatten Island). It's a danger to civilians.

Houses tolerate Bounty Hunters because of what they do: kill criminals for money. These are predictable, greedy people for whom the almight Credit controls their hearts and souls-- and Houses have far more Credits than criminals do. The Houses would love to get rid of Bounty Hunters. They'd love it. But they can't, and they know they can't. Even if they could control crime within the borders of their own house, once the criminal is out of their jurisdiction, they can't do anything to stop them, except hire a Bounty Hunter.

Furthermore, on the issue of Alaska, I can't believe some of you. ALASKA IS TOP SECRET. High-clearance LSF and Navy ONLY. Bounty Hunters aren't allowed in there the same reason traders, corporations, and civilians aren't allowed in there. They are a threat to Liberty national security the MOMENT they go in there. Why? I can't tell you that. It's classified.
