The Role of Psychopathy in Subtypes of Aggression and Gun Violence
The findings support the four-facet structure of psychopathy among a high-risk community sample and demonstrate its utility for differentiating violence subtypes. These results highlight the importance of considering psychopathy's multidimensional nature in understanding specific risks for firearm-related violence, providing valuable insights for targeted violence prevention and intervention strategies within healthcare and community settings.
