Violent Video Games Do Cause Some Violence, But Censorship Won?t Help

6a00d8341bf74053ef0133f593ee42970b-800wiIn the wake of another tragic school shooting, the restriction of simulated killing is a tempting solution. It seems all the more urgent, given that the preponderance of good scientific research shows that violent video games do cause some vulnerable children to lash out at their fellow schoolmates. Censorship through age restrictions is a hollow hope. We live in a world where nearly all information is within reach of the determined. We cannot punish and shroud our way to peace. If anything, the increase in social video games -- even violent social games -- may prove to be more impactful than censorship.
