This article seeks to show the limits of the current theories of crime, specifically in relation to psychopathy. It demonstrates how the current pattern of research tends to be deficit-based and that it is only through exploring the invisible realities of conscience, actual grace, and the role of the devil, that a full picture of reality can be revealed. The example of psychopathy shows the significance a biblical perspective can have, shedding light not only on criminological research, but sociological and psychological research as well. The implications for future research are significant.
