In normal situations, of peace and order, the best possible provider is the good guy, serious, reliable, hard worker, respectful, generous and attentive.

In times of troubles, of difficulties, when one is on the run, escaping from dangers, running for life, striving for food and shelter, than it might be more effective the thief, the rascal, the violent, the ruthless. He might have a better chance of surviving himself and helping others to survive than the good guy who is so admirable and generous with his paycheck, when there are no paychecks no more, but ...
Very nicely put, beppe. I think our evolutionary history goes a long way in explaining this particular phenomenon.
