Throughout Dead Rising, Frank West will encounter psychopaths - people who have failed to cope with the circumstances of the zombie outbreak and are hostile toward any other survivors they meet. Often, they have taken hostages and will attempt to kill them if not stopped.
While "psychopath" is used as an umbrella term for all the game's bosses, and many have entirely lost their grip on reality, such as Cliff Hudson and Steven Chapman, not all of them are as unhinged as others. Some are simply taking advantage of the situation in order to act on their sadistic desires, like Jo Slade and the convicts, while others are consumed by paranoia, such as Cletus Samson. Brock Mason in particular is completely aware of his circumstances, and nonetheless carries out his orders with no regard for human life.
