I dunno. I would think it has to do with intention to dominate/control others, rather than just lashing out in violence due to an inability to handle trauma. I think there are many powerful STS entities on the planet today who might never be overtly violent, but they move armies around like pawns on a chessboard. These are the ones more likely harvestable to STS, rather than the criminal who made some mistakes stemming from his abusive childhood.
What I'm suggesting is that we might not necessarily be able to tell someone's polarity by their outward appearance or actions. Polarity is determined by walking the steps of Light. As observers, we don't really know the motivations behind the actions.
For example, a politician might never perform an act of violence but might be entirely motivated by greed and lust for power. Or a mega-church pastor might seem good on the surface, but is in fact a master manipulator, and feeds off the fears of the 30,000 people assembling in his huge, multi-million-$$ church every Sunday. (This is not to say that all politicians or pastors are STS, of course! But I think some of them undoubtedly are.) They might be much more polarized than many violent criminals.
It does seem obvious that the criminals who are extremely hardened, who committed multiple acts of violence without any remorse, are clearly polarized STS. This may be true in most cases, but we already know of one exception - Hitler - so who knows how many other exceptions there are!

I don't think any souls would be expected to become harvestable in a single lifetime.

No, we would probably guess this is not the case. But why not, if it happens in the other camp?
My understanding is that our Higher Selves and their Spirit assistants, being beyond polarity, provide healing regardless of our polarity. I don't see it as 2 opposing teams at that level.
I'm interested in this discussion as it pertains to why there is evil at all, but I think trying to really understand the mechanics of how STS entities polarize might not produce much fruit, being that covering that topic was not an objective of our Confederation friends. There just isn't a lot of data about it in the Law of One, so most of what we say would be based on speculation. Ra's objective was to provide info on how to polarize STO. Q'uo has stated that it's not their task to answer the call of STS.
