Say a person injured by a sink hole?
What about a small child stabbing you with a knife? Is that evil?
Humans have a tendency over the last three thousand years to remove the notion of agency in matters of culpability. To say people are sick rather than guilty leads to the view that humans are like sink holes. In great antiquity inanimate objects were held culpable. The Roman Jurists of the early centuries of the Christian age could no longer understand those laws, but one can observe the attitude in the spontaneous anger of someone who strikes his head on a two-by-four.
Sin can tend to mean error. In other words, as in the present discussion, the point is to avoid those errors which bring the evil of great harm. Even the devil is supposed to be a creature, created as is a stone.
Injustice implies a knowing act, rather than a mere state of affairs or "de facto" circumstance. Since the Greek Political Philosophy. The Greeks, too, distinguished "hurt" from "wrong." From being (legally) wronged.
