I guess I should have written more if I wanted to be taken seriously. Crime, like everything else, takes time. If you play video games 4 hours a day, that's 4 hours a day that you are neither able to shoot people, nor are you outside to be shot. Given that the demos likely to commit crimes and play video games overlap so strongly, this has to be considered.
- jobu 15y agoExcellent point, but I think you could just say cheap electronic entertainment. The Internet, torrents, Netflix, and video games in particular could be a huge factor in the crime rate. They are (relatively) cheap, ubiquitous, and huge time sinks.
- hencq 15y agoGood point. The sad thing is of course that if you were able to show a clear correlation between (violent) video games and criminals, the most probable reaction would be to ban these games.
