- A study released last month suggested video games were keeping young people off the streets and therefore away from crime. Researchers in Texas working with the Centre for European Economic Research said this "incapacitation effect" more than offset any direct impact the content of the games may have had in encouraging violent behaviour.
I just love it how the mainstream media first bashes the s*** out of video games, because they endanger "our children" and then out of sudden decide to say that they do tone down crime.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13799616 | |
