Recently my neuroscience reading group covered the book The Psychopath Inside: A Neuroscientist's Personal Journey into the Dark Side of the Brain
by James Fallon. Sociopaths might be more inclined to abuse others because they lack empathy. I think the author wrote that some one percent of women and three percent of men are sociopaths.
Discovering that as many as one in thirty-three men are sociopaths has impressed me. It certainly explains a lot both in my personal experience and the history of humanity in general. I am now more inclined to search for the signs when I meet new people so that I can take defensive measures when dealing with one.
