Description
It is no secret that individuals with antisocial or psychopathic traits experience affective deficits and tend to lead dysfunctional lifestyles such as breaking the law. However, the extent to which callous-unemotional traits can act as a driving force of said dysfunctional lifestyles is poorly understood. The first objective of this literature analysis is to examine the overall effect of empathic deficits as a predictor or mediator of violent offenses in people with psychopathic characteristics. Also explored is the generalizability of this relation to non-offender populations with psychopathy. The last section of this paper encompasses a review of current treatment models emphasizing how the management of affective impairments may guide individuals with antisocial tendencies towards a functional lifestyle away from crime.
