Horizon: Are You Good or Evil?

What makes us good or evil? It's a simple but deeply unsettling question. One that scientists are now starting to answer.

Horizon meets the researchers who have studied some of the most terrifying people behind bars - psychopathic killers. One of these scientists discovered that he had the profile of a psychopath. And the reason he didn't turn out to be a killer holds important lessons for all of us.
