Isn't that a sociopath? I think I read that psychopaths can't really live in society and go undetected, they can't control themselves.

Sociopathy isn't really a specific diagnosis (whereas psychopathy is, in most places) - and the term is used largely interchangeably with psychopathy when referring to an actual disorder. Any semantic difference in the terms hasn't come from the broad medical community as far as I'm aware.
