Introduction

This is our website on video games and whether or not they are a cause of violence and crime. It is made for you to choose which side to take, no they are not a cause of violence or yes they are a cause of violence. It also includes a powerpoint and a picture gallery showing violent or non violent games.

What do you think of the picture next to the text, a cause of violence or not?

They warn that violent video games may be more harmful than violent television or films because they are interactive, and require the player to identify with the aggressive character. The first showed that young men who are habitually aggressive may be particularly vulnerable to the effects of repeated exposure to violent games.

The second showed that everybody can become temporarily more aggressive after even a brief exposure to violent games.

Not all games are violent, such as mario, fifa football, Lego Star wars and sega stars. Here are some reasons why video games are not an influence on crime!

Games are for fun inside.

Games have no intention to bring any thoughts of crime to mind.

Crime is a last resort and murders are useally done on revenge.

Another reason is that games are not that realaistic but in graphics some games are eg grand theft auto, assasins creed and gears of war 1/2!!
