Psychopathy as predictor for violence is well established. There is a ton of literature on it. This study is large scale and try to control for other variables:
That study looks exclusively at people who chose violence in situations where it had predictably negative consequences for themselves. I don't think studies of people who commit crimes in heavily policed societies and predictably end up in prison can tell us much about times and places where violence often paid off in big ways.
