Are the Brains of Pedophiles Different?
Overview
How does the data compare to non-pedophilic child sex offenders?
Summary
Over the last few years, there has been an increase in research looking at the neuropsychology and neurophysiology of individuals who identify as having an attraction to prepubescent minors (pedophiles) and comparing those results to those individuals who do not have these attractions. Additional research has looked to compare the neuropsychology of pedophilic child sex offenders to non-pedophilic child sex offenders.
