Whenever a violent crime is committed, such as the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting or the Virginia Elementary School shooting Sandy Hook in 2012, we draw the conclusion that these mass killers are psychopaths. . In reality, most psychopaths are not violent. The thing for people to think about is what drives a psychopath to commit violent crimes like murder or rape? Are serial killers and rapists supposed to understand their actions in relation to the crimes they committed. A lot of people would say yes and they understand what they did. This way of thinking is biased because we want to see serial killers and rapists sent to prison or executed, but it really doesn't answer the real answer: can they really understand their actions. Where does the thought process about violent crime come from? If violent crimes are predictable, why don't we punish those who can predict these crimes and choose to say or do nothing? Research has been conducted and many books and journals have been published to answer these questions. Dr. Adriane Raine mentions in her book “The Anatomy of Violence” the thought process of people who commit violent crimes. Dr. Anna Marie Latisco also provides evidence of how a psychopathic mind works and how it is not easy to predict in the "Journal of America Psychological Association." Dr. Robert I Simon suggests in his book “Bad People Do What Good People Dream” that psychopaths are actually normal people. Stephen Porter and Sasha Porter point out in their research article published in the book "The Psychopath" by Hugues Herv'e and John C Yuille that psychopaths are not easily predictable but tend to continue to be violent once they become 'They became violent. violent.
