Dr. Stanley Milgram’s experiments on obedience to authority, conducted at Yale University in the early 1960’s. He conducted experiments examining the degree to which ordinary people would comply with the orders of an authority when those orders went against conscience.
The experiments showed that people would inflict a painful shock to a person they believed to be a helpless victim if urged to by an experimenter.

bh: the book about these experiments makes for very interesting reading.
