eli5: are psychopaths always dangerous?

597 viewsOther

I never really met a psychopath myself but I always wonder if they are really that dangerous as portraied in movies and TV-shows.
If not can you please explain me why in simple words as I don’t understand much about this topic?

No. About 1 in 100 people are psychopaths. You almost certainly know at least 1 psychopath.

They are more likely to commit crimes than other people, but not nearly as much as TV depicts.
