Violent Facts

  • More than 70 percent of American teenage boys have played the violent and adult-rated Grand Theft Auto video game, and those teens are more likely to have been in a fight than those who have not played
  • "I fear we are growing a society of alienated, aggressive, untrustworthy adults," - media researcher Joanne Cantor.
  • "The best selling games of the past year glorify and reward extreme violence, particularly toward women," the report notes.  "While these games are rated M (Mature), they are extremely popular with pre-teen and teenage boys who report no trouble buying them."
