There are psychopaths and sociopaths, who are just fundamentally broken and aren't really safe to allow into society.

Most people are a product of their environment, but there's a few who are just broken.

According to this the instance of psychopathy in the general population is really high at 1.2%.

And according to this Sociopathy or Antisocial Personality Disorder is between 1-4%.

Now I'm not sure if you are saying that all people who have ASPD or are psychopathic should not be allowed into society or not. But the proportion of people with these conditions is quite significant.

Is there a sliding scale for this stuff? That's a lot more than I thought.

I'm pretty sure, like anything in psychology and in mental health; the scales are variable and there is nothing even close to black and white.
