AB This study tests the hypothesis that psychopathy is more associated with instrumental homicides than mixed and reactive homicides, and explores relationships between Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) facet/item scores and different forms of homicide: instrumental (n = 130), mixed (n = 103), and reactive (n = 219) homicides. Instrumental homicides scored higher on facet 2 (p < .01) but scored lower on facet 4 (p < .1) compared to reactive homicides, whereas no facet scores differed between mixed and reactive homicides. Among the items of facet 2 (affective), remorselessness (item 6), and callousness (item 8) were predictive of instrumental homicide.
K1 callous/lack of empathy (item 8)
K1 lack of remorse or guilt (item 6)
K1 facet 2 (affective)
K1 mixture of reactive and instrumental homicide
K1 reactive/emotional homicide
K1 instrumental/planned homicide
