Six people are suspected of involvement in the case – former police officer Dmitry Pavlyuchenkov, Chechen-born Lom-Ali Gaitukayev, former police officer Sergei Kadzhikurbanov and the Makhmudov brothers, one of whom is alleged to have been the killer. None of them have been brought to justice.
Psychopath isn’t a diagnostic term in the DSM. It’s more of a colloquial term we use in common language. But I get what you’re saying. The figure I read after I saw your comment was between 1-3%. I think the statistic has pretty high error bcz you can’t sample the entire population.
It’s more of a colloquial term we use in common language.
I know it’s not in the DSM and that it’s also a colloquial term, but the article cited doesn’t use it as such. They’re suggesting the prevalence of psychopathy, as diagnosed by the PCL-R test, is 5%.
As the article is the first I found, I used the term psychopathy, rather than using APSD and confusing the terms unnecessarily. They’re arguably not synonymous. It’s likely that the prevalence of APSD is not the same as that of psychopathy, as diagnosed by the PCL-R.
