Most certainly. Exact figures are impossible to forecast because of lack of presentation and inexpert diagnosis. Furthermore as psychopathy is nowadays regarded as a legal term rather than medical (similar to insanity) it is extremely rare to have a diagnosis unless in the process of the law. The term psychopathy was perhaps first introduced and refined by Cleckley and Hare. The list if traits is quite long but probably the closest correlations in the DSM are the "cluster B" personality disorders.

Exact classifications of the personality disorders between the sexes is blighted by gender politics but much of the modern psychological thinking suggests that the masculine form of psychopathy is most commonly seen as AntiSocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)and the feminine form of psychopathy is manifested mainly as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD.) Although these are regarded as masculine or feminine styles they can be widely found in both men and women.
