There is an old actor's axiom that you cannot "play" evil or bad--you can only play right. I use three professional actor friends as examples. One lady portrayed a soap opera bitch on a defunct afternoon soap (I promise I won't drop the name. It would only date me further--sigh...)and she always felt that her character wasn't bad--she was merely misunderstood.

FBI profilers have to understand that to think like a perpetrator you have understand where the perpetrator's coming from emotionally.

Do I like him or her? I'm not sure. But understanding the person is a strong step in the right directon.
