Abstract

A wide literature related to Psychopathic Tendencies has been studied to develop an insight into the nature and character of these tendencies. Out of the vast literature available in the field twenty five excerpts of reviewed literature are mentioned in this paper. This review unravels the predictors and correlates of psychopathic tendencies and also emphasizes the link of psychopathy with other criminal and antisocial tendencies.
