Instead it was established that a perpetrator's conduct—as abominable as it might have been—was in greater part a response to an actual “cultural” setting: situation, opportunity, group expectation. Research into the nature of the human being has shown that “most evil is the product of rather ordinary people caught up in unusual circumstances” (p. 170).
