It is perceived that psychopathy, in the criminal sphere, is much discussed by indoctrinators, since many believe that the person with this personality disorder is not attributable, that is, that he does not become guilty for his crime, but will have a measure of security imposed on that individual. Moment in which the research problem arises, linked to this conception that psychopaths have no feelings, that they commit crime with a total absence of remorse or guilt. From this perspective, the present work addressed the crimes on psychopathy seen by the legal system and by health professionals, as well as psychologists and psychiatrists. It will also show the ineffectiveness of security measures for people with personality disorders, such as the Psychiatric Hospital of Porto Alegre and the connection of these measures with Human Law.
