Pro and Con: Violent Video Games

Some blame violent video games for school shootings, increases in bullying, and violence towards women, arguing that the games desensitize players to violence, reward players for simulating violence, and teach children that violence is an acceptable way to resolve conflicts, while others argue that a majority of the research on the topic is deeply flawed and that no causal relationship has been found between video games and social violence, that violent video games may provide a safe outlet for aggressive and angry feelings, and may reduce crime.
