"Sociopath" is not a precise term, and we do not know the causes of the various personality disorders that are commonly referred to that way. There is a large body of opinion that childhood trauma or abuse is a contributing factor, but this is not known with certainty. Some authorities believe that there could be genetic factors, and others that physical trauma unrelated to abuse could be involved.
As a general thing, one might expect a family with both physical and emotional abuse present, and probably Alcoholism or some other addiction as well.
