So, depending on how you look at it, most psychopaths are not dangerous to others.
You are confusing sociopath with psychopaths. i used to believe that they were one and the same, psychopathy being an extreme manifestation. Some studies now show that sociopaths are born and psychopaths are made. Either way, something has been cut out of them and we lack the ability to fix it.
Actually it seems to be the other way around:

Similarities
Sociopaths and psychopaths share a few common traits. Both disorders are often characterized by a lack of conscience, an inability to feel empathy toward others and little respect for the law. Both disorders tend to develop by age 15 and may begin with cruelty toward animals. People who suffer from anti-social disorders are usually impulsive, show little regard to their own safety or the safety of others, lies often, typically has had several run-ins with the law and becomes aggressive on impulse. This can lead to physical assault without regret. Often, the person has difficulty fulfilling financial obligations and does not plan for the future. However, both disorders are controllable with therapy and the right medication.
Education and Career
Due to their extreme attention to detail, psychopaths are often well educated and successful. Although they may be fiscally irresponsible, they are able to hold down jobs and maintain a stable living situation, whereas sociopaths generally are not. Psychopaths are usually organized to a point of obsession, making them appear very neat and in control at work or in school. While sociopaths have more of a tendency to be homeless and out of work or unable to maintain a job, psychopaths often establish themselves in regular neighborhoods or apartments and can be very successful in climbing the career ladder.
Relationships
Sociopaths find it incredibly difficult to maintain relationships due to their inability to comprehend empathy. They typically do not have a relationship with family, have very few friends and don't get along well with co-workers. Sociopaths often use others for their own personal gain and think nothing of humiliating a victim or a supposed friend. A constant habit of lying for their own personal gain also makes it very difficult to form lasting friendships.
A psychopath, on the other hand, may be able to have normal relationships, even getting married and caring for children. Although they do not feel remorse for acts of violence and cruelty they may comment, they are able to understand human emotion and empathy so that they can manipulate it. Their incredible understanding of human feelings makes it easy for them to impress and persuade others.
