I can't remember this right now for the life of me, but there are three "acts" which often predict future sociopathy in an individual:

1) Torturing and abusing animals.
2) Bed-wetting.

What's #3? Anyone know?

Lack of empathy, is one I can think of, like no feelings of guilt or shame for what they do.

I just took a criminal behavior class. We spent a whole unit on Sociopaths and there was no mention of this.

I do know that kids with ADHD are 30% more likely to become offenders, though.

if all else fails, there's always the class textbook and/or the campus library.

<< Facist fundamentalist religious conservative bigoted concepts. >>


My own personal experiences have shown this to be very very true.

Catholic priests would factor into this somewhere. Classic "wolf in sheeps clothing."

No, not studying for finals. These "three factors" aren't academic, but rather generalizations. We were talking about it last night amongst friends and I couldn't remember. :D
