Wrongdoing requires intentional, knowing, or reckless harm

Evidence

This definition needs qualification, but the moves to qualify it are well understood. Briefly, we need to rule out certain harmful actions, such as unforeseeable accidents, as necessarily morally wrong. So we add to the definition a qualification: a notion of a wrongdoing actor as somehow intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly harming or causing pain to another individual. β€” John T. Jost and Jim Sidanius, Political Psychology, 3862
