"Colombine shooter played a violent video game, which must be a factor in their decision to cruelly kill their classmates!" An innocent bystander's mistake In the era of video game era With the arrival, psychologists have discussed the influence on the minds of young audiences. With a lot of research and ongoing discussions, society still lacks absolute answers.

Because there is no evidence linking video games to violence, video games do not lead to violence. Dr. Christopher J. Ferguson of Texas A & M International University believes that studies linking games and violence are not decisive. "So far, this is a research pool, it did not work very well, I saw it, I can not tell you what it means" (Kelly). University research linked games to violence without finding relationships. In addition, the Supreme Court of the United States has made a special decision in dismantling similar mistakes ", reports on the government's findings. "(Kathy) The Supreme Court's ruling proved that no relevance has been found between violence and video games.The limited research and proposal is aimed at prospering behavior of minors. , It requires more research to show that there is no known relationship between video game and violence.

In addition to lack of evidence of the relevance of video games and violence, video games are also not the cause of violence, as the timing of video game sales and the timing of youth violence are also very different. As the author reports, the trend shows that violence is not related to video games.

This means that even though violent crime decreases, video game sales grow and video games do not become violent. Also, even if video game sales increase and violent crime rate goes down, video games will not affect violence. Another article contains research based on trend analysis for 40 years. This indicates that violence has reached a low point at the peak of the video game, in addition to the opposite trend of violence and video games.
