| Sociopaths are either run-of-the-mill narcissists turned malignant - or succesful, i.e conniving psychopaths hiding their core traits from public view | |
Sociopaths are character disordered people who have learned to express their psychopathic traits in a non-arrestable way, i.e
- "white color" Wallstreet type criminals
- sexual predators and pedophiles who take precautions not to be caught
- abuse of infants, children, elderly or disabled by caretakers
- some cult and religious leaders
- abuse by proxy (letting others do the dirty work for them)
In the forensic literature the term is used to describe moderately to highly psychopathic (22-30 points PCL-R[citation needed]) individuals who have learned - for selfish reasons - to channel their extreme grandiosity and aggression in socially "acceptable" ways.
