Won’t somebody please think of the humanity of those who rob others at knife-point?

At some point, people need to realize that some human beings are just born bad. Psychopathy and Sociopathy are real things that have a genetic component.

And, while we can try to rehabilitate those who score low on measures of psychopathy and sociopathy, we need to recognize that some people really do just need to be locked away from society at large to preserve the lives of innocent people.

Psychopathy and sociopathy are defined as antisocial personality disorder. There are treatments, unfortunately modern prisons are nowhere near conducive to the types of treatments that are effective. And the spiral continues...
