To examine risk-factor specificity for sexual offending, we also compared male violent, non-sexual offenders (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 135 953) to controls without sexual or non-sexual violent convictions. Predictors included parental (young maternal or paternal age at son's birth, educational attainment, violent crime, psychiatric disorder, substance misuse, suicide attempt) and perinatal (number of older brothers, low Apgar score, low birth weight, being small for gestational age, congenital malformations, small head size) variables.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S003329171600249X_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Conditional logistic regression models found consistent patterns of statistically significant, small to moderate independent associations of parental risk factors with sons\u2019 sexual offending and non-sexual violent offending.
