Category	Criteria
01	Those who kill in self-defense and do not show psychopathic tendencies

03	Willing companions of killers: aberrant personality — probably impulse-ridden, with antisocial traits
04	Kill in self-defense, but had been extremely provocative towards the victim
05	Traumatized, desperate people who kill abusive relatives and others (like to support a drug habit) but lack significant traits. Genuinely remorseful.
06	Impetuous, hotheaded murderers, yet without marked psychopathic features
07	Highly narcissistic, not distinctly psychopathic people with a psychotic core who kill people close to them (jealousy an underlying motive)
08	Non psychopathic people with smoldering rage who kill when rage is ignited
09	Jealous lovers with psychopathic features

12	Power-hungry psychopaths who killed when they were “cornered”

14	Ruthlessly self-centered psychopathic schemers
15	Psychopathic “cold-blooded” spree or multiple murders
16	Psychopaths committing multiple vicious acts

19	Psychopaths driven to terrorism, subjugation, intimidation and rape, (short of murder)
20	Torture murderers with torture as the primary motive but in psychotic personalities
