Game Revolution's Duke Ferris did a hefty bit of research, foraging
through countless studies about violence and video games, reading a number of charts and graphs from the Department of
Justice, and has come up with this conclusion: the era of kids who grew up with video games (from about 1993 and after)
has the least amount of violent crime rates ever recorded. It does not say that video games have caused these
nonviolent tendencies, but it certainly plays down the notion that video games have been a catalyst for crime.
What makes this article so great is its amount of evidence. If you do not believe even a sentence of his piece,
there is a link of a study or a statistic, from such reliable sources as the Department of Justice and the Surgeon
General. Plus, it's very easy to read and quite insightful. Check it out.
