It is said that...In Canada there are 32,000 inmates doing serious time in prison. About 20% are considered to be serious psychopaths. They probably should not be on the outside again. This represents about 4000 or so, mostly males, some females.
On the other hand, it is believed that 1% of the population can also be considered to be serious psychopathic, that would be about somewhere around half a million in Canada or 5 Million Americans to be considered serious psychos....On the outside...Not in jails.
That is...People among us. Folks without a conscience of what the are doing to others. People with a serious personality flaw. Dangerous people. They are part of our corporate culture, some possibly teachers , priests, pastors as well as politicians, workers, in other words anybody among us.
Bernardo, Homolka, Enron top management...
Often glib, sometimes unreliable, impulsive,denying their actions,fit into a somewhat recognizable pattern, but not always. Could be your boss or someone working for you.
The point is to be aware of these possibilities, to be vigilant and thereby keeping our sanity and that of those around us who need to be protected from these 1 in a 100 menacing individuals.
