Some offenders are at very high risk to reoffend. Research conducted at the author's institution and elsewhere shows that psychopathic offenders are especially likely to be violent, that future violence can be predicted with considerable accuracy among men who have committed at least 1 violent offense, and that treatment programs to reduce dangerousness do not always have the intended effects (i.e., they may actually increase the dangerousness of some individuals). Implications for the criminal justice system pertain to release following insanity acquittal, offender sentencing and parole, preventive detention, offender treatment, and program evaluation.

We suggest that the criteria for antisocial personality disorder, or "sociopathy", in the Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (4th edition) are deficient in that they define "failed sociopathy", and fail to include an equally valid group of individuals who, although seen by society as successful, display core features of the antisocial personality disorder.
