Recent research on neurodevelopmental abnormalities increasing the risk of Paedophilia in males.

There is a growing body of research by Dr James Cantor and his colleagues which supports the hypothesis that neurodevelopmental 'purtubations' increase the risk of paedophilia in males. Specifically, neuropsychological findings suggest that paedophilic men have lower IQs, poorer visuospatial and verbal memory scores, increased levels of childhood head injuries resulting in unconsciousness, are more likely to be non-right handed, to be shorter in stature, and fail a school grades, than other offenders. MRI data has also strengthened the connection between biological determinants of paedophilia in that white matter deficiencies were reported.
