New: A Criminal Psychology Section
Psychopaths, sociopaths, and the minds behind the cases
I’ve just rebuilt and launched a brand-new Criminal Psychology section here on Claim Your Innocence — and I wanted to tell you about it.
Psychopathy and sociopathy are some of the most searched and most misunderstood topics in psychology. Most of what’s out there is either too clinical to read or too sensational to trust. I wanted to offer something different: clear, accurate, jargon-free writing that helps you actually understand the criminal mind — and that retires the biggest myth of all, that “psychopath” means “killer.” It usually doesn’t.
The new section is built around a main guide and a set of focused articles you can read in any order:
- ▸ Psychopath vs Sociopath: What’s the Difference?
- ▸ Signs of a Psychopath
- ▸ Types of Psychopaths: From the Charmer to the Cold Predator
- ▸ Psychopathy in the Courtroom — where it connects to the real cases I cover
If the psychology behind the cases interests you — what drives someone, how the mind is read in a courtroom, what the science actually says — this is for you. Start with the section overview here →
