RE: Do Violent Video Games Actually REDUCE Violence and Crimes?!
Very interesting viewpoint. Something like crime rate is incredible hard to link to any specific cause because there are simply so many different factors at play. I have actually read material that suggests that of the people who are prone to violence, the members of that group who was exposed to violence through artificial means actually were less likely to commit those types of acts in real life. I would link it if i could but it was a discussed in a lecture I attended last January. But, if that is true it reiterates the original theory in the article.
I hadn't heard of that - very interesting! Thanks for your input!
And you're right, crime rate is so hard to connect to anything since there are so many different types and also so much of it stays unknown to the authorities and could never be recognized in statistics.
