Question
QUESTION: Do violent video games lead to delinquent behavior?



ANSWER: There is a weak corrilation but its not cause and effect.

---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: Good evening Sir

You stated "there is a weak correlation, but it it not cause and effect."  I do not understand.  Is the weak correlation due to some other factors?  Could you please elaborate?

Answer
There many other factors like broken homes, out of wedlock births, physical and sexual abuse, alcoholism, drug use, mental illness, neglect, etc.
Violent video games are relativily new.
Delinquent behavior and criminality later in life goes in just about every culture all through history.

Right now x number of delinquents will play violent vid games.
So there is correlation. One did not cause the other.
Many people will play violent video games,
only a few become deliquent.
