TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Pedophilia and its (non-) association with physical height among sex offenders JO - Deviant behavior A1 - Jung, Sandy A1 - Klaver, Ellen A1 - Pham, Anna SP - 323 EP - 331 VL - 35 IS - 4 N2 - Developmental indicators, including physical height, have been suggested to provide biological etiological support. The present study examines the association between physical height and pedophilia, using non-phallometric pedophilic indicators with a sample of 179 sex offenders. Unlike previous empirical endeavors, no significant findings or trends emerged in support of an association between pedophilic interests and physical height. The association between height and pedophilia remains queried, suggesting height may not be a relevant pedophilogenic factor.
