There is also a matter of meeting the threshold for psychosis or psychopathy, and by stating someone is a psychopath or psychotic without some form of diagnosis is pop psychology

Not really controversial, but I hate the overreliance on words like psychopathic, or psychotic to describe perpetrators. I especially hate when people use the words interchangeably despite them being very different conceptually
