Using computerized text analysis, Cornell professor of communication Jeff Hancock and colleagues at the University of British Columbia found that psychopathic criminals tend to make identifiable word choices when talking about their crimes.

Malcom Gladwell Keynote Speech at University of Miami Real Estate Impact Conference
Malcolm Gladwell talks about the law of criminal concentration.
