This book applies the psychopathy concept toward the understanding
of crime. Drawing on hundreds of studies and his own clinical,
research, and practitioner experience working with the most
antisocial and violent offenders, the author demonstrates that
psychopathy can explain all forms of crime across the life course,
and also examines the biosocial foundations of the disorder. With
an abundance of case studies and historical references, written in
a distinctive writing style, the book is equally fascinating to the
academic scholar and the true crime buff alike.
