Oxytocin - Empathy, Are you Good or Evil 2
'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.

And the reason he didn't turn out to be a killer holds important lessons for all of us.'
