What are some shows that depict victims of trauma becoming sociopaths?

Seems like a good third to half of the murderers on Criminal Minds are reacting to trauma. There are a few episodes where the show is actually very sympathetic to them. I'm thinking mainly of the episode where Alex O'Loughlin guest stars.

Criminal Minds has a lot of this, I noticed. Every episode, a new criminal to profile and track down, and most of the time the profile includes past or childhood trauma.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileen_Wuornos (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_%282003_film%29) became a killer, but i dunno is she qualifies as a sociopath. it's not like she investment-banked anybody.

I can't remember if the original trauma is ever spelled out but it's certainly hinted at heavily in http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2294189/.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/12/theater/12greeks.html?pagewanted=all ... The scenes from “Ajax” show the title character plotting to murder Greek generals who have disgraced him. Under a trance by the goddess Athena, he ends up slaughtering farm animals he thinks are the officers. Ajax’s concubine is depicted as trying to bring him to his senses; the final scene shows Ajax in agony, committing suicide. ... Now officials at the Defense Department are turning to the Greeks to explore the psychic impact of war. In http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lars/thesis4.html#stress, 4.3: Result (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) When surrounding stimuli have triggered a re-experience of the traumatic event, the subject's perception of reality becomes distorted and he or she often enters a dissociative state, potentially placing the subject in greater danger. In two such flashbacks that I have been witness to, the people experiencing the attack became less able to function, not from fear, but from not being in the same reality as others, resulting in increased hazard to those nearby. The problems appeared to be what the descriptions from the Viking period called 'battle fetters'; the person bound by the "battle-fetters" was briefly unable to act because of what was beyond their control, in the case of post traumatic stress disorder, past events.. This, quite temporarily and unintentionally, increases their physical danger by several orders of magnitude. A verse from the Icelandic Harðar Saga describes the effects of the war-fetters. The 'war-fetters' came upon Hord and he cut himself free once and a second time. The 'war-fetter' came upon him a third time. Then the men managed to hem him in, and surrounded him with a ring of enemies, but he fought his way out of the ring, and slew three men in so doing. (Davidson 1981 : 63-64)

Seconding The Alienist!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1242460/

This is how the story of the character of the Kingpin is framed in the new https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daredevil_%28TV_series%29. It forms one of the major plot arcs of the first season.

I recently read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Alienist by Caleb Carr, and it very much hinges on this idea. Also Theodore Roosevelt is a character in the novel, so that's fun.
