Abstract
This is the second part of two area reviews that explore the relationship between psychopathy and corporate crime. In Part 2, the authors explore psychopathy in more detail and show how it is illustrated by characteristics such as glibness/superficiality, impression management, pathological lying, conning/manipulativeness, lack of remorse or guilt, callousness/lack of empathy, failure to accept responsibility, stimulation seeking, irresponsibility, parasitic orientation, serious criminal behavior, and criminal versatility. The authors then illustrate how these characteristics are present in many recent examples of corporate crime and suggest that the concept of psychopathy has much to offer for criminological explanations of corporate crime.
