MODERATORS
This is just the very first result in a litany of numerous results in a quick internet search for this. It seems there is no shortage of research on this topic available for you to read directly without my potential contamination of it. But, here's a preview for you. Hope this helps.
A 2021 meta-analysis conducted by international scholars from Spain, Bulgaria, Sweden and the UK found a significant portion of the human population to be psychopaths as defined by the PCL-R.
Regarding the significance of psychopathy among people found guilty of a crime or incarcerated, they mention:
It's important to note that I am not espousing a "version of justice" as you put it. My concern is simply with segregating harmful people from potential victims to prevent additional harm.
Science has discovered many (primarily) men in leadership roles (politics, business, etc) are sociopaths.
Does that mean they're supposed to be jailed as well ... because nothing you've listed there talks about that.
The claim isn’t that psychopaths must be jailed. It’s that psychopaths must be jailed when they engage in criminal behavior, because the non-jailing methods for rehabilitating people don’t work in psychopaths.
