This is just the nature vs nurture debate that has been going on in sociology forever.
I think evil does exist. Some people simply has less regard for human life than others. And some actually enjoy inflicting pain on others. Evil vs mental disorder? Who knows. Without getting into religion/spirit, we can't really address that issue, but yeah, "evil", "bad intent", "dangerous mental disorders", whatever we call it, it exists.
Human greed also exists. And left unregulated, we would have absolute chaos. That, IMO, is the true intent of the criminal justice system. To regulate greed, not to combat evil. Think about crime. It all comes back to greed.
