For example, They explore whether the subject had a traumatic childhood, their motivations for committing murders, why they have preferences for some victims or others. A key point in this scale of evil is, pardon the redundancy, the evil and sadism itself embodied in the crime, that is, the meditation on it, the method of death that was used, etc. Therefore, value, morality, ethics and other judgments are used to classify subjects at a specific point within this scale.
