<div><font color="#000138" face="gg sans, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The term "bad man" in legal theory refers to a hypothetical individual who is solely concerned with the practical consequences of legal rules, particularly the potential for punishment, rather than with moral or ethical considerations. This "bad man" is interested in predicting how the law will be applied to their actions, focusing on the material consequences like fines or imprisonment, rather than on whether those actions are morally right or wrong. </font></div><div><br></div>
