Psychopaths present a myriad of difficulties for judicature and in society as a whole and it’s extremely difficult to rehabilitate individuals who lack remorse (Hare, 2012). The Psychopath Test: A Journey through the Madness Industry, is an intriguing book by a British journalist Jon Ronson. There is no treatment for psychopathy according to Robert Hare, a well-known American expert on psychopathy, who developed Psychopathy Checklist Revised, in short PCL-R. He finds it astute to simply detect psychopaths and remain aware of their existence and proposed in his research that psychopath can easily mock up improvement during treatment by pretending to become more empathetic (Ronson, 2011).
