I think a good argument can be made that one reason people kill and steal
stems from the desire to be happy. In this respect happiness (or the
desire
for happiness) could be a negative trait.

Rather than happiness as the motivation for killing and stealing, it's
likely survival is the reason for that behavior.

Clearly you've not met many common criminals.

In this country no one steals for "survival". They're stealing because they
have no morals -- period.
