I agree the crimes should be punished as if the offender was "evil", but it doesn't prove evil exists.
Many of those committing the crimes have also had similar crimes against them. A deranged mind does not prove evil, it just shows the human psyche can be damaged to an extreme level. Rarely does anyone commit such crimes when raised in a peaceful environment and when they do we usually see some type of psychological defect.
From the point of view of a superior intelligent alien race, they would see lions killing cubs from other prides and homo sapiens doing similar, they may see it as instinct. A very base level consciousness but not actual evil.
To assume evil exists based on human actions would be rather anthromorphological wouldn't it?
