The assumption is that werewolves, in their human form, retain some delight in... violence that makes them dangerous to be around. That they enjoy "infecting" others. It is also assumed that they are low class, lacking in manners, and prone to... shabby appearances and a variety of diseases.
These last are largely a result of the social prejudice against employing those known to be lycanthropes, or even admitting them into schools. I have no way of earning money for myself - if it weren't for the support of my friends, I would be destitute. If it weren't for the careful secrecy and support of my school's headmaster, I would have had to remain self-taught at home.
