I've never seen a study correlating the rise and ubiquity of video games with the drop in crime.
Before video games, bored young males ran around the neighborhood making mayhem. Today they sit in front of an xbox. I personally think the people who would be out committing violent crimes are still in society they just have a way doing it virtually.
