This one is a conclusion drawn from a lot of observations.
I believe that no person is bad, or rather
evil in actuality, it is only the means which they use to fulfil their goals that distinguishes them from the so called 'good' people. For instance, an office worker earns money by doing insanely monotonous paper work while a member of any crime syndicate kills people to earn the same buck, the goal being the same, the means to achieve it defines a person in our society. Although there are many alternative examples, the gist of it will still result to be the same, provided you can look at an act of killing like any other job (you're a part of society too, you know).
It is this very perspective with which the society has come to see the people that has influenced the actions and the how they are treated.
