A Sociopath is merely the descriptor for someone who cannot or will not understand concepts such as empathy or Social constructs, such as laws/morality. If one murders you it is typically because they do not understand why killing you is wrong, at certain levels they can understand that not killing someone is a rule but they don't see why it is wrong any more than most people go a few mph over the speed limit because they think they can. If they torture you, it is because they see nothing wrong with doing so, the extreme being actually seeking people out to do these kind of things to because they are actually curious as to what the whole empathy thing people talk about is about... even if they cannot actually feel it.

As Phantom said, it is a range, most people being closer to apathy rather than wanting to murder/torture.
