All of these statements are wrong. In fact, much of the information in the popular press about the effects of violent video games is wrong.
The real puzzle is that anyone looking at the research evidence in this field could draw any conclusions about the pattern, let alone argue with such confidence and even passion that it demonstrates the harm of violence on television, in film and in video games. The allegation that “perpetrators go unpunished in 73 per cent of all violent scenes” is based on research from the mid-1990s that looked at selected television programs, not video games.
