Having him die or get arrested for his murders would be a cop out for the series. A lot of great TV shows suffer from bad finales - the X-Files springs to mind, and not even a follow-up film could undo the damage. I would prefer it to be left open-ended; leave Dexter free and content to keep doing what he does best. I get the feeling though that the producers feel morally obliged to do something to make out that they don't really endorse the activities of the character they have carried for eight seasons. He is a serial killer after all, and it wouldn't be right to continue to glorify psychopaths would it?

If they plan to redeem Dexter though, how would they pull it off?

It would be interesting to know what plans Jeff Lindsay has for the character in his novels.
