Much of this thinking is based in the mass media bombardment treating all criminals as sinister and thoroughly evil; there are no socially redeemable values in any of th.e criminals. If you do take the time to "read between the lines" in these TV crime drama portrayals of the criminal personality, you will see that each of the attributes of character which would be seen as positive in an ordinary individual is merely a facade——a disarming mechanism for the intended victims.
