Chapter 4 in Bad Apples, 2011, pp 95-127 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is about individualistic, person-centered explanations for CWBs. Some people — but fortunately very few — are, for want of a better theoretical and non-psychological term, evil. They are morally corrupt and capable of inflicting physical and mental pain on others. They are more than difficult or nasty or incompetent. Indeed, they are often more than simply bad. They appear to have criminal and psychopathic tendencies. Their lack of conscience and an absence of a sense of right and wrong make them able to inflict great harm on others without regret or remorse.
