Narcissists, psychopaths and destablisers in the justice system.

High functioning narcissists, psychopaths, predators, coercive controllers (cumulatively Dark Personality), cause enormous harm yet they are usually empowered in the justice system.

The law often applies only to overt and extreme forms of harm which present with tangible evidence such as rape, murder, theft, and armed robbery.

Data indicates that people of Dark Personality in non-forensic populations whose methods of harm are much less obvious, are equally as dangerous and sadistic as those who commit overt crimes; and share the same attributes.  

The Kalmor Institute, through world-first research with international experts, has created a method to enhance and package harmful, covert behaviours which do not leave physical evidence, so they are more overt, tangible and recognisable as harmful.

We have also created a unique, ground breaking interviewing/interrogation process designed to expose people of Dark Personality in the courts. This process is based on best practice interviewing/interrogation technique FBI work and other research.

High functioning Dark Personalities are deeply manipulative, exploitative, predatory, and self-interested, yet they seem credible and very normal. They do not experience fear and so are brazen and compelling in their dishonesty. Many are doctors, lawyers, military officers, executives, company directors, religious figures, academics, charity workers and so present as professionally credible also.

High functioning Dark Personalities are not only proficient in hiding their true nature in the courts, they also weaponise the justice system to further control, dominate and harm their targets and are invested in prolonging and escalating proceedings.

For solicitors seeking to understand how high functioning Dark Personalities are motivated, the tactics they use and how they can be exposed, so they can best represent targets/victims, the Kalmor Institute have programs which are deeply nuanced, and data informed.

The measures and assessment tools developed to identify Dark Personalities, which are sometimes used in the courts, such as the PCL-R, have been developed either from incarcerated populations or from studying traits of Dark Personalities in the general population, neither approach of which is fully representative of Dark Personalities.
