Nevertheless, one author referred to the concept of psychopathy in 1987 as an "infinitely elastic, catch-all category".<ref name=lust>

Hare redrafted his checklist in 1985 (Cleckley had died in 1984), renaming it the [[Hare Psychopathy Checklist]] Revised and finalising it as a first edition in 1991, updated with extra data in a 2nd edition in 2003. Hare's list differed from Cleckley's not just in rewordings and introducing quantitative scores for each point. Cleckley had required an absence of delusions and an absence of nervousness, which was central to how he defined psychopathy, whereas neither were mentioned in Hare's list. Hare also left out mention of suicidality being rarely completed and behavior with alcohol. Moreover, while Cleckley only listed "inadequately motivated antisocial behavior", Hare turned this into an array of specific antisocial behaviors covering a person's whole life, including juvenile delinquency, parasitic lifestyle, poor behavioural controls, and criminal versatility.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=NBC0jOMVmIYC Thinking about Psychopaths and Psychopathy: Answers to Frequently Asked Questions] "What are the differences between the psychopathy definitions designed by Hare and by Cleckley?"
