Blame At

http://www.anthonygold.co.uk/site/library/firmnews/settlement_following_implanon_contraceptive_de... "Instead, the clinic placed the blame at the hands of the Defendant nurse, AK who had carried out the procedure on 9 January 2009 during the course of her employment."

How is "place the blame at the hands of" different from "place the blame on"?

Thank you for your reply, Rover!

So "at the hands of" should be interpreted very differently in:

"He placed blame at the hands of his boss."
"He suffered blame at the hands of his boss."
