What threat might Meursault be said to pose to "civilized society" even beyond the rather common crime he has committed?

This question is directed for Part 2, Chapter 4.

The biggest threat lies in the fact that Meursault feels no remorse for his actions..... he admittedly just proceeds with life and moves onto the next moment. Meursault has no moral compass, and thus, the prosecutor warns that he has no place in human society because he upholds none of its rules.
