Attraverso una revisione della letteratura scientifica, sono state analizzate le definizioni di empatia e psicopatia criminale, nonché le evidenze neurobiologiche associate ad entrambi i fenomeni. Il seguente elaborato si propone di esplorare ed identificare i potenziali collegamenti tra le basi neurali dell’empatia e della psicopatia, al fine di fornire una maggiore comprensione del fenomeno criminale legato alla mancanza di empatia.
