The "criminally insane homicidal/rapist/sadist psychopath type are a TINY minority of those who merely hold a profound empathy deficit. Alex and the droogs are wicked, wicked, wicked men who delight in the torture of innocents in a fictional book and film. Talking snakes etc.

Comparing in the flesh raping, beating and murdering to the Milgram et al experiments seems...blunt?

Admittedly, the Milgram example is more relevant to the joiners (specifically Pete and Dim in my estimation) for why they delight in all those things: because authority figures convince them it's okay. That said, bear in mind WHY Milgram did that experiment in the first place; it's not like he woke up one morning and said "I've got a nutty idea, I'm going to take some rando and see if I can convince him to administer lethal voltage to some old guy just by telling him to." It was his attempt at figuring out, in his words, "Could it be that Eichmann and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were just following orders? Could we call them all accomplices?"
