Thecallousness of psychopaths, Hare believes, is based inpart on another physiological pattern he discovered inearlier research, one that also suggests an irregularity inthe workings of the amygdala and related circuits: psychopathsabout to receive an electrical shock show nosign of the fear response that is normal in people aboutto experience pain. 21 Because the prospect of pain doesnot trigger a surge of anxiety, Hare contends that psychopathslack concern about future punishment forwhat they do. And because they themselves do not feelfear, they have no empathy—or compassion—for the fearand pain of their victims.
219/661* A note of caution: If there are biological patterns atplay in some kinds of criminality—such as a neural defectin empathy—that does not argue that all criminalsare biologically flawed, or that there is some biologicalmarker for crime. A controversy has raged on this issue,and the best consensus is that there is no such biologicalmarker, and certainly no "criminal gene." Even if thereis a biological basis for a lack of empathy in some cases,that does not mean all who have it will drift to crime;most will not. A lack of empathy should be factored inwith all the other psychological, economic, and socialforces that contribute to a vector toward criminality.
