2) Ameera:
What makes an antisocial person dangerous? What precautions should the investigator take when dealing with this type of personality disorder?
Antisocial person are dangerous because of the behaviors they exhibit. Behaviors such as deceitful, manipulative, disregard of others at an early age, charming and persuasive, reckless disregard for safety of self and others, and heavy drug or alcohol use. All of these characteristics can lead to violent criminal behavior. Many serial killers have antisocial personalities, which also include bedwetting as a child and cruelty to animals. When negotiating or dealing with a person with antisocial personality the interviewer should use the buIDy approach, sharing criticism and blaming others, establish credibility, promise only what you can deliver, employ a non-critical, problem oriented approach, expect bargaining agreements, assist in saving face, and avoid using third party intermediaries. The offenders who suffer from antisocial personality are very intelligent and cunning. The interviewer should endeavor to avoid lying to these individuals and focus on assisting them in saving face. The individuals tend to be very narcissistic.
