ELI5: What causes sociopathy?

Also, how do you recognize it in a person?

EDIT: Thank you for all the informative responses! Although this was more of an academic query, people have said that I may have sociopathic tendencies so I wanted to learn more about it :P

Again, thanks everyone!

You will not, it's part inherited, part developed through childhood trauma. You will not likely recognize it in a person, because a sociopath has learned to emulate all emotions like a regular one. 

However since they are unable to feel empathy or love you could approach them with those subjects.
