No they don't and Sociopaths have a complex personality disorder. It is a cluster of symptoms: * They can be articulate and witty and very amusing to those around them and always seem to have a clever comeback. They can also dramatize convincing untrue stories about themselves and also twisted stories an actual event. * They are not easily detected by others at first because of their convincing charm and likability. * In many cases Psychopaths will try to convince others they are experts at psychiatry, law, philosophy, medicine, sociology, art and science even though deep down the Psychopath knows they are not. * They have an inflated view of themselves as far as worth or importance around family, friends or where they work. The presume they are superior to others around them and far more intelligent. * They are seldom embarrassed regarding any problems they may have however private these problems may be and see them as temporary setbacks or bad luck or will blame others for their failings. * They feel they can conquer and become anything in life and always think beyond what they are capable of accomplishing. * They could care less about their hurtful or even harmful effects upon others and have no sense of guilt and if asked if they feel sorry about what they have done they are genuinely not concerned and will often blame the victim they hurt at the time or openly admit they don't care. * They view others as objects and to how they can use them to benefit themselves. They generally pick on those that are kind, giving and loving and consider this a weakness and the Psychopath considers them targets and considers them weak and unintelligent. * They have absolutely no empathy for others and are more territorial regarding those closest to them such as their partner or children (treat them as property, not humans) and will fight for the right to maintain that property. This is not done out of love. * Many criminals are Psychopaths and have no conscience, do not feel anything when they mutilate, torture or murder their victims. Their eyes are void of emotion and their voice but a drone without a hint of pity. * Very few Psychopaths commit serious crimes. They would rather use people to gain their possessions right down to stealing if they have too. They will do it to their families and friends. Believe it or not business is where many Psychopaths are (some of them are nicely called climbing the ladder, but this doesn't make all ambitious people Psychopaths.) * They lie, deceive and manipulate, cheat, commit fraud, con and manipulate those around them. They believe that it's a weakness if you don't believe the world should be for 'takers only' and thus they are the predators and those around them their prey. * They often can have several women/men on the string and feel no guilt in lying to their partner. * More than not they will appear unemotional and cold, yet when it is to their benefit they can have short spurts of drama and play acting, but there is absolutely no feeling going on inside that person. Example: A death of a loved one. The Psychopath may decide to fling themselves across the coffin in a display or mourning, but it's a dramatic act and not a tear is shed. * Normal people feel pain and fear punishment or rejection or any unpleasant emotion, but the Psychopath does not and cares little of what the future could hold for them. They simply do things (good or bad) because they wanted too and like it. * They have impulsive acts and before their family, friends, boss' or coworkers knows what hit them the Psychopath has done their damage leaving bodies behind them and this can be done on the spur of a moment. They change their plans frequently and live on a day to day basis with no plans for the future. * The weakness in a Psychopath is that they cannot control their feelings when they are disciplined, criticized and can become aggressive of trivialities to prove they are right. This lack of self control does not last long and they will continue on in a matter of minutes as if nothing ever happened. * They can be vindictive and some may even inflict physical or emotional damage to others on a routine basis and then refuse that they have a problem controlling their temper. * They need constant excitement and drama in their lives and if they don't have it they'll make it. They love to live on the edge. * Some will use a variety of drugs, constantly move from one place to another and even some will consider the prospect of committing a crime and do. They get bored very easily. * They do not commit to anyone, lack responsibility on the job and have no room for company rules or any rules or laws in society. They are made to be broken so to speak. * They see their own children as a nuisance or inconvenience and do not make reliable baby sitters.

'Sociopath' only implies the potential for anti-social behavior. What the sociopath 'deserves' is psychiatric help to attempt warding off any such behavior. Perhaps, as a society, we extend our boundaries a bit too far, sometimes, but that is where citizen liberties enter into the picture.

Can a sociopath be a detective?

To begin with, sociopaths come in all shapes and forms, for example, one sociopath is a killer, the next is a rapist. Some are not even criminals. The one constant among sociopaths in the apparent inability for them to truly feel human emotions such as love, remorse, and guilt. Seems to me this might make for a pretty good detective, as long as he/she doesn't display criminal behavior.

Why are sociopaths so difficult to treat?

Because their problems are deep-seated, and since they seen nothing wrong with themselves (being immune to remorse) they have no incentive to change.
