This would mean that crime rates would be even through social, racial, regional, and economic levels. This is totally untrue. Almost all crime occurs within the lower demographic states. This defies the logic set out by the "Media Violence theories". .
Another one of the most heard arguments used against the media, claiming it is driving the world to anarchy, is a claim that over 3,000 studies have been carried out. All supposedly showing the damaging consequences of the media. In reality, this is actually referring to the entire governmental bibliography on a Congressional bill. The fact is, most of these studies are inconclusive, the rest being either positive or negative correlation.
Unfortunately for those supporting the "Media Violence theories", studies and such are all well and debatable, until, we look at the children themselves. .
I knew one little girl who went around exploding with fantasies so violent that other moms would draw her mother aside to whisper, "I think you should know something about Emily." Her parents were separating, and she was small, an only child, a tomboy at an age when her classmates were dividing sharply along gender lines. On the playground she acted out "Sailor Moon" fights, and in the classroom she wrote stories about people being stabbed with knives. The more adults tried to control her stories, the more she acted out the roles of her angry heroes: breaking rules, testing limits, roaring threats. .
"Then her mother and I started helping her tell her stories. She wrote them, performed them, drew them like comics: sometimes bloody, sometimes tender, always blending the images of pop culture with her own most private fantasies. She came out of it just as fiery and strong, but more self-controlled and socially competent: a leader among her peers, the one student in her class who could truly pull boys and girls together.".
This is an excerpt from the website of a renowned comic book author Gerard Jones.
