#1 The term psychopathy is not a politically correct term, and those with a liberal bent have tried to change it to sociopathy over the past few decades. However, the term is so entwined with the concept of psychopathy that it is difficult to determine the difference.

#2 There are differing opinions concerning psychopathy, and the cause of it, depending on which side of the fence you sit. Some believe that the cause of psychopathy is the amygdala, while others believe that it is the frontal lobe.

#3 There are a hundred million brain cells in the average person, and the presence of one extra chromosome in each cell equates to the presence of an additional one hundred million chromosomes in the XYY male. Studies have shown that the XYY male has a 20-fold increase in his lifetime risk of being institutionalized in a mental hospital or prison.

#4 The term psychopath is not legally or medically defined, but it is used to describe people who have a lack of empathy for others. Shawcross was not a psychopath, but he did have a lack of empathy for others.
