Second paper I've seen talking about physical abnormalities of pedophiles. Other was about atypical brain development, in essence, smaller brains. Now another saying pedophiles are smaller height-wise. So thought it warranted a thread.
Leg Length Versus Torso Length in Pedophilia
"
Abstract
Adult men’s height results from an interaction among positive and negative influences, including genetic predisposition, conditions in utero, and influences during early development such as nutritional quality, pathogen exposure, and socioeconomic status. Decreased height, reflected specifically as a decreased leg length, is strongly associated with increased risk of poorer health outcomes. Although prior research has repeatedly shown that pedophiles are shorter than nonpedophiles, the largest study to date relied on self-reported height. In the present study, pedophiles demonstrated reduced measured height and reduced leg length as compared with teleiophiles. Given the prenatal and early childhood origins of height, these findings contribute additional evidence to a biological, developmental origin of pedophilia. In addition, the magnitude of this height difference was substantially larger than that found in children exposed to a variety of early environmental stressors, but similar to that seen in other biologically based neurodevelopmental disorders."
To consider pedophiles might be physically different or indicated isn't something that really sits right in my lap so if you doubt it, you're not alone. Interesting possibility though. I'm 6'2" btw.
