Video games are not making us more violent, study shows

Man playing video game
This article was is about Long-term research into homicide rates and depictions of violence in video games, movies and how they have no relationships with each other.
  • The research mainly targeted 12-17 year olds.
  • The research tool 20 years long
  • The study concluded that playing video games coincided with a fall in violent crime perpetrated by those in the 12-17 age group.
  • The research paper also questions the validity of previous studies into links between real-life and screened violence, which have largely relied on laboratory testing.
I think that article makes a lot of sense and this supports new technology which is quite rare in situation like this.
