Robert D. Hare writes psychology for general and professional readers about psychopathy, criminal behaviour and assessment. Without Conscience explains traits associated with psychopathy through clinical cases, prison research and the development of Hare's Psychopathy Checklist, while Snakes in Suits, written with Paul Babiak, examines how manipulative and callous behaviour can appear in workplaces and corporate settings. Hare's prose is accessible but rooted in forensic psychology rather than internet-style personality labelling. His work fits criminal psychology, forensic assessment and popular psychology about psychopathy. Because psychopathy is a specialised construct requiring careful assessment, the books are more useful for understanding patterns and research than for diagnosing acquaintances or partners.
