ou are a member of a special behavioral science unit for
Homeland Security. The director of a large geographical sector
in the United States would like a report for his division heads
on the differences between the sociopath and the psychopath.
He would like to have a comprehensive report about this
phenomenon in mental health. It is imperative that the personnel
who come in contact with these types of personalities
understand what they are dealing with, why the subjects are the
way they are, and what to expect in terms of reaction to the
involvement of authorities. The director is unclear as to the
difference between the two.
In a 3–5 page position paper, respond to the following questions
based on the scenario:
Describe the mental state of the sociopath and psychopath. How
are they similar and how do they differ?
Articulate which of the two personalities presents the biggest
threat to Homeland Security and law enforcement, and why?
Relate how an agent for Homeland Security could identify an
individual as having a psychotic personality in terms of the
sociopath and psychopath.
In a subject interview with a sociopath and a psychopath, which
approaches would you use, respectively?
It is critical that, when you make a statement of fact in your
presentation, you cite the reference that you used to obtain the
information from. Do this in the text of the paper, and then
include the reference in your References page. As always, your
paper will be submitted in the current edition of APA format.
No abstract is required because this is a short position paper,
but a title page, reference page, and appropriate running header
with page numbers are necessary.
