So your premise...<<At its best, an environment--be it formal education, religion, family and peer values and pressure--encourages the development of these "higher" beliefs and behaviors such as a revulsion toward unnecessary killing, arson, and the like.>>

...does not explain why people would accept these values, disobey them, appear to accept them (hypocrisy), appear to disobey them (Huck Finn). Sorry, each of us has it internally from the start. When disobeying the good values, even the most hardened criminals recognize they are being bad.
