The bad acts of a few individuals has given the entire race a bad reputation. The most common evil act attributed to mermaids is using their enchanting voices to lure sailors to wreck their ships on reefs and other navigational hazards. This act was first committed by the sirens who are not mermaids at all but woman-headed birds from the Aegean Sea. Either the two creatures have become confused or they are linked by a common crime.
As with all creatures of potential power, they are not inherently evil but should be treated with precaution for the harm they could conceivably do.

In the original movie The Little Mermaid the villain is the sea witch Ursula, in The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea the villain is Morgana, Ursula's evil sister and in Ariel's Beginning the villain is Marina, the babysitter of Ariel and her sisters.
If you think evil, you'll probably do evil...which makes you evil...

I'm pretty sure most mermaids aren't evil. But they lure sailors with their beauty and mermaid song and make them crash and drown or something.
Only if the person who makes up the story makes them evil. Since they don't exist they can be anything the person who creates them wants them to be. Like anything there are good mermaids and evil mermaids. In the story 'The Little Mermaid' the mermaid rescued a drowning prince, brought him safely to shore, and stayed vigilantly by until somebody found him. And then their are reports of mermaid (sirens) purposely luring sailing ships onto reefs so that they (the mermaids) may feed on the drowned sailors. Now in all fairness the latter accounts here were originally attributed to the sirens who are not the same as mermaids but the two have become united and for reasons that we cannot legitimately say why.
