The correct spelling is sociopath. It is a person who knows the difference between right and wrong, but doesn't really care. Also called Anti-social personality disorder.

It sounds like you mean "sociopath." A sociopath, according to dictionary.reference.com, is "a person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience."
A sociopath demonstrates behavior that s/he knows society considers unacceptable -- and that s/he could exercise restraint to keep him/herself from doing (but chooses not to). A serial killer is a one of the more common examples.
