My impression is that a large portion of the traffic on Tor is malicious in some way, but originating from a very small portion of the users. It's a noisy minority. Just like the vast majority of sent e-mail is from criminal activity[0] and the comment section on news sites doesn't represent the readership fairly. An easy thing we can all do to help improve that is to use Tor for legitimate every-day use, even when you have nothing to hide.
