We don't have to go too far to find psychopaths... a relatively larger percentage of teenagers are "psychopaths" - as in, they lack empathy.

All it takes to convert them into adult psychopaths is lack of guidance by parents and a ruthless outside environment.

I would state, without proof, that the number of people who would be labeled as psychopaths (by their behavior, violent nature and lack of empathy) would be larger in third world countries as compared to, say, US, Norway or Sweden... this is going by my personal experience.

Psychopathy, in the current context, is a clinical term for a condition. Its not a state.
