 Other authors draw quite different conclusions from Blair’s studies. Both Maibom (2008) and Vargas and Nichols (2007) note that despite their apparent inability to distinguish moral from conventional transgressions, psychopaths are sensitive to the fact that there are norms prohibiting a wide range of behaviors, and that violating these norms can lead to sanctions. For Maibom, this awareness is enough to undergird both moral and criminal responsibility. Endorsing a similar view, Vargas and Nichols note that “we do think it is appropriate to blame and punish transgressors of conventional rules”. Why, they ask, “is this not enough to blame and punish psychopaths?” (2007: 159).
