Violent crime has been declining since 1991, and we haven't had a homicide rate so low as 2011 since 1963.* I'm not sure violence in society and violence in media are really correlated, certainly not violent video games. Some might argue violent video games are providing an outlet, I don't know if that's true either. Maybe we've just entered an age of distraction, and Youtube is really effective at keeping criminals (or victims?) off the streets, better than any after school basketball program. * Wikipedia provides a table illustrating declining crime rates, compiled from US Bureau of Justice and FBI statistics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States#Crime_over_time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States#Crim...
