  chronic mental state in which a person's ability
  of thinking, understanding situations and
  relating to others is not functional and
  destructive.People suffering with antisocial
  personality disorder typically have no regard for
  right and wrong and often disregard the rights,
  wishes and feelings of others.Those who are
  suffering from antisocial personality disorder
  are most likely to antagonize, manipulate or
  treat others either very harshly or with callous
  indifference.Sometimes they can violate the
  law, landing in frequent trouble, yet they show
  no guilt or remorse. Typically these symptoms

Causes of Antisocial Personality Disorder

• Personality can be defined as the combination of
  thoughts, emotions and behaviors that makes
  everyone unique. It's the way people view,
  understand and relate to the outside world, as
  well as how they see themselves. Personality can
  be formed at the time of childhood, shaped
  through an interaction of these factors 
• Genetics - These inherited tendencies are aspects
  of a person's personality that are passed on by
  parents, like shyness or having a positive
  outlook. This is sometimes called temperament.
• Environment - This tells about the surroundings a
  person grows up in, events that occurred, and
  relationships with family members and others.
• There can be a link present between an early
  lack of empathy understanding the perspectives
  and problems of others, including other children
  and later onset of antisocial personality
  disorder. Identifying these personality problems
  early may help improve long-term outcomes.
