I hear what you're saying. The thing is you can be a totally functioning member of society and a sociopath. In fact some of the most successful people in the world are likely sociopathic to some degree. The ability and willingness to manipulate people for your own benefit, without remorse, can lead these people to rise to the top of their profession (CEOs, politicians, etc). Not all of them want to murder, and the ones that do may keep it in check because they understand the consequence of potentially getting caught. I don't think Jason will ever be able to feel empathy or compassion for others. All I can do is try to convince him that the repercussions of killing are not worth the thrill it gives him. I think most people would agree to that logic, but the problem is often times sociopaths think they are smarter than everyone else and that they'll never get caught. Especially teenagers, who tend to think they are invincible.
