Well, the sort of people that local police forces deal with tend to lean more towards "common criminals" than "terrorists". And while Aum Shinrikyo had an infamous impact on Japan, he may be ancient and almost forgotten history in the world of Psycho-Pass. Modern real world Japan does not have much of a problem with terrorism, at least based on what I've read on Japan (I don't recall reading about a Japanese equivalent of the IRA for example).
Anyway, baring the sociopath reasoning, it's hard to figure how Makishima's reading can be so low. What he did this episode was obviously criminal, and would cause most people to feel at least some guilt I think.
Perhaps Oryo, deep down inside, knew that what she was doing was morally wrong, hence her high psycho-pass reading a few episodes back. But maybe Makishima really does believe that what he's doing is right, and perfectly justified. Perhaps "guilt" or "shame" plays a big role in Psycho-Pass readings.
