Demonization can be a form of glorification. Consider for example the following two paragraphs:
"He was slick, convincing several security guards he was a wayward contractor on his way to meet the department head. Thermal cameras in the server room defeated by a homemade polyester shield, it took only twenty minutes to extract BigCo's financial records. Having slipped in under the noses of corporate security like the most adept of rats, he skittered away in the anonymity of directions to the bathroom leaving no trace of his visit."
"The felon broke into the store through its back door window using a crowbar. They stole two empty registers and a safe, ransacking the building in their search for anything of value. Ramir was frustrated when he came in the next morning after, yet remains optimistic. "We may have been robbed, but we know that we're going to come out on top in the long run." The suspect is known from security footage to have fled the scene in a green pickup truck. If you have any information related to this crime..."
You get a very different picture of these two peoples competence just from the way they're depicted and the kind of crime they commit.
