The scale of evil

Nesta sexta começarei a assistir ao programa "Índice da Maldade", no Discovery Channel. Como tenho TV por assinatura há pouco tempo, não sei qual temporada estará sendo exibida, mas prometo me informar (mentira, tentarei descobrir aos poucos ;D)



Para entrarmos(?) no clima, aqui vai o tal "índice" (retirado da Wikipédia):



01 Those who kill in self-defense and do not show psychopathic tendencies

02 Jealous lovers who, though egocentric or immature, are not psychopathic

03 Willing companions of killers: aberrant personality—probably impulse-ridden, with antisocial traits

04 Kill in self-defense, but had been extremely provocative towards the victim

05 Traumatized, desperate people who kill abusive relatives and other (like to support a drug habit) but lack significant traits. Genuinely remorseful.


06 Impetuous, hotheaded murderers, yet without marked psychopathic features


07 Highly narcissistic not distinctly psychopathic people with a psychotic core who kill people
close to them (jealousy an underlying motive)


08 Non psychopathic people with smoldering rage who kill when rage is ignited


09 Jealous lovers with psychopathic features


10 Killers of people who were "in the way" or who killed, for example, witnesses (egocentric but not distinctly psychopathic)


11 Psychopathic killers of people "in the way"


12 Power-hungry psychopaths who killed when they were "cornered"


13 Killers with inadequate, rage-full personalities who "snapped"


14 Ruthlessly self-centered psychopathic schemers


15 Psychopathic "cold-blooded" spree or multiple murders


16 Psychopaths committing multiple vicious acts


17 Sexually perverse serial murderers torture-murderers (among the males rape is the primary motive with murder to hide the evidence; Systematic torture is not a primary factor)


18 Torture-murderers with murder the primary motive


19 Psychopaths driven to terrorism, subjugation, intimidation and rape, (short of murder)


20 Torture murderers with torture as the primary motive but in psychotic personalities


21 Psychopaths preoccupied with torture in the extreme, but not known to have committed murder


22 Psychopathic torture-murderers, with torture their primary motive



16 ou 22, em que número enquadraríamos John Doe?
