I highly recommend a book called The Sociopath Next Door, by Martha Stout. It seems that about one in twenty-five of the population (social and economic status aside) is a sociopath, and from the ranks of these comes a significant part (much higher than their numbers would indicate) of our criminal population. This status is highly correlated with genetic factors, though not one to one.
