Some concrete evidences

As most people are not convinced by researches done by universities and medical schools lets head on to some more concrete evidences.

The Final report and Findings of the Safe School Initiative


After the 1999 columbine high school shooting incidence the US Department of Education and the US Secret Service founded the safe school initiative to see if high school shootings can be stopped. They conducted a study and found out that even though one-eighth(12%) of the attackers exhibited an interest in violent video games it had nothing to do with promoting thoughts of violence in the attackers mind. But most of the attackers(37%) showed their interest in violence and aggressive nature in the form of their own writing such as poems, blogs, essays and art.

THE SCHOOL SHOOTER:A THREAT ASSESSMENT PERSPECTIVE

Report conducted by The Federal Bureau of Investigation said that “unusual behaviours, interests, hobbies, etc., are trademarks of the student destined to become violent and that you can’t easily identify would-be violent criminals or pigeon-hole people with one suspicious characteristic as potentially violent. They said that identifying a violent personality involves a pour step process which assesses: a person’s personality traits and behaviour, family dynamics, school dynamic and social dynamics.



Both these organizations were designed to find causes of violent behaviour and even after conducting a large number of studies they did not point to any significant influence of violent video games on the complex personality of a human.Hence they concluded that even though violent games might cause a spark of violence in the person it isn’t enough to change his nature to be more aggressive and violent.
