In July 2012, the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin focused on the topic of psychopathy. The publication provides an overview of what law enforcement officials should know about psychopaths as criminals.
Lovefraud readers will also find the information helpful. Topics include:
- Psychopathy: An important forensic concept for the 21st century
- Perspective: The predator when the stalker is a psychopath
- Looking behind the mask: Implications for interviewing psychopaths
- Case study: No more bagpipes the threat of the psychopath
- The language of psychopaths: New findings and implications for law enforcement

Hi Donna. Thanks for bringing this info up. I went on the FBI site and read these articles. I especially liked the one on interviewing. I have lots of experience unfortunately in seeing others being played like puppets and utterly clueless that it’s happening. Nice to see the Feds are educating regarding the twisted mental process of psychopaths. Looks like there’s a lot more articles on that site on the subject too.

Hi, the link to the FBI bulletin has been removed from the FBI website and is now located on the Homeland Security site: https://www.hsdl.org/?abstract&did=718311

The Courts should be aware of psychopaths who do emotional and psychological damage.

This bulletin looks excellent and will need to wait until later today to read it. I was hit with the thought that one day, could it be possible that all mankind will evolve into psychopathic behaviors, Donna? Those of us living today likely won’t still be living when this happens, thank goodness. Lately, I am so attuned to this energy and behavior pattern that I noticed one of my more recent male clients is a psychopath. I ended our business relationship and have no contact. Every time I think about him, and how I paid attention to how I was feeling, it was a real gift that I cut the cord right away. If I hadn’t been continually reviewing the characteristics, I wouldn’t have been able to identify why something was “off” and I felt so uncomfortable. The final straw was when I realized the way this person made me “feel” was the red flag. There is another client – female – who I’m also suspecting.

All the links from this thread aren’t available any longer, not even the Homeland Security URL. It does give a couple email addresses to try to resolve the “resource not found” issue.
