Were you dropped on your head at some point?
As usual, a person on the
shared account
/.
and a new sock 🧦 start to troll and bully at once. -

It's then legitimate to ask (again) whether criminals can be held responsible for their crimes.
Of course they are responsible. They have control of their actions and know what they are doing is wrong, they just don't care.

How can you control your actions, when your control by the brain is deactivated? -

What part of **** off, nobody likes you, do you not understand?
Freak.
You really want to start a fight with me again, hungry baby?
Didn't work so well for you before.

OP Hungry
And your disclosure of my one and only PM to you (without even asking me),
also backfired badly at you.

Weird coincidence–just yesterday I encountered an article cautioning against this very kind of assertion!
Doesn't mean your article is wrong, only that the issue is complicated and we don't (yet!) know enough about how brain organization leads to such behaviors. I think the authors you cited know this given the notes of caution sprinkled in the concluding paragraphs.

That's not really
"weird coincidence"
because the study was recently published.
Of course its discussed then.
And yes, as said in the article in my OP there are
"no easy answers"
and further research is needed.
Especially because
"psychopathy is not a clearly diagnosable clinical symptom, but a psychological construct"
.
Well, with these Factor 1 and Factor 2 was set a good frame to continue. -

Interesting but inconclusive.
appear charming, articulate and self-confident. At the same time, they're incapable of genuine empathy. They lie pathologically, feel no remorse, carelessly violate social rules and are prone to impulsive or violent actions
Sounds like so many people I know (or know of) who are ostensibly happy and successful.
Particularly serial killers often suffered brain injuries as children or youngsters (accidents, brain infections).
Some have, some haven't. Serial killers are all unique individuals with different life experiences. I don't think there's any one pattern or chain of events that create a serial killer or mass murderer. So many different factors come into play. I don't think it's possible to determine beforehand who is more prone to becoming a murderer. It's one of life's many mysteries. -

From the article:
"appear charming, articulate and self-confident. At the same time, they're incapable of genuine empathy. They lie pathologically, feel no remorse, carelessly violate social rules and are prone to impulsive or violent actions"
Sounds like so many people I know (or know of) who are ostensibly happy and successful.
"Particularly serial killers often suffered brain injuries as children or youngsters (accidents, brain infections)."
Some have, some haven't. Serial killers are all unique individuals with different life experiences. I don't think there's any one pattern or chain of events that create a serial killer or mass murderer. So many different factors come into play. I don't think it's possible to determine beforehand who is more prone to becoming a murderer. It's one of life's many mysteries.
Perhaps you know more successful psychopaths (who pretend to be happy) than you're aware of?
Yah, I agree…
"many different factors come into play"
to create a serial killer or mass murderer.
Dysfunctional families, childhood abuse, but even brain injuries are much more often when you dig deeper.
And as far as the criminals and their (dysfunctional) families themselves know or admit it.
Well, what shocked me a bit, how many US-American serial killers have German blood in their veins.
This observation is truly unscientific, but if you look at their family names or their parents' names…ähem
