Abstract

ABSTRACT With research on race and psychopathy lacking rich qualitative data, this paper reviews the extant literature on race and psychopathy, followed by a case study analysis of George Russell, a Black convicted serial murderer. This study presents, to this author’s knowledge, the first illustrative case study to focus on race and psychopathy. The analysis illustrates the complexities at the confluence of race and psychopathy with attention to attachment theory to illuminate the depth of the clinical disorder among a neglected population. The ways in which race and psychopathy intersect are discussed with implications for criminology, criminal justice, and forensic practice.
