Antisocial Personality Disorder is unknown to the public even though it is a term used for criminals. The terms commonly used to describe these criminals are “sociopaths” or “psychopaths” which are actually antisocial personality disorders. The most common feature of this disorder is that people suffering from this disorder lie and have acquired the ability to manipulate. They don't seek professional help because they don't believe there's anything wrong with them. This disorder is associated with criminals because it is selfish; people with antisocial personality disorder care only about their own well-being and are willing to do anything for their own betterment. Criminals diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder lack a moral compass which makes their behavior dangerous to others. Symptoms of antisocial personality disorder classified by the DMS IV include a lack of concern for the rules and expectations of society. They do not respect the law or what is expected from social norms, have difficulty holding a job, or get into trouble for truancy. (Comer, 2011) They have repeated violations of the rights of others, many times in a physical way and are irritable towards others. One of the most common symptoms is their pathological need to lie, they are self-centered and lying satisfies their need at the moment. Doctors tend to describe the antisocial personality as lacking a moral center due to their total disregard for others and their manipulative ways. (Comer, 2011) The research community and the clinical community do not completely agree with the DSM IV classification because it overemphasizes symptoms related to delinquent and criminal behavior and underestimates related symptoms...... half of the document ...... 1).
