Psychopathy was reconceptualised for the normal range, emphasising its relevance universally. Meta-ethics was applied to place psychopathy as centrally relevant in genocide, war crimes, and where its presence underscored justification for particular laws. As such psychopathy and empathy are not mutually exclusive, and implications of this as they impact child rearing were included in the four-Journal experimental series. Theory was grounded in Evolutuionary Psychology. A new methodology, the Moral Inversion Method, combined idiographic and nomothetic processes. The psychopathy induction was developed to measure psychopathy's footprint, trans-culturally. Experimental induction returned data underscoring the urgency to formulate means that inform new ways to approach means to quell genocide onset.
