Well, in some way they can be. They can make your child violent because, if they're young they tend to play the games a lot. The child would think it is okay to do what the game was doing.

Answer 2

NO they do not, it is caused by the parents cause they re not good at taking care of their child. And their bad at parenting is the cause.

Answer 3

Not as long as they have good parental guidance. I've been playing violent Video Games since I was eight, but I would never start a fight with anyone. I still wouldn't let a small child play a game like Prototype, killzone 2, resistance 2,or left 4 dead one and two without supervision. Those games are tons of fun, but are very gory. All four feature bashing people or Zombies to death amid lots of spraying blood and occasionally exploding bodies which shower the landscape in intestines and organs. If you're a parent, you should know that video games affect some people differently than others. It's genetic. Some people are naturally more inclined to be violent. Some aren't. All kinds of violent media can be dangerous in the hands of certain people.

Answer 4

MIT Professor Henry Jenkins in an article entitled "Reality Bytes: Eight Myths About Video Games Debunked" states that According to federal crime statistics, the rate of juvenile violent crime in the United States is at a 30-year low possible due to the rise in popularity of video games and their use by juveniles. Additionally, no research has ever found that video games are a primary factor or that violent video game play could turn an otherwise normal person into a killer. The same article also debunks the idea that "Because games are used to train soldiers to kill, they have the same impact on the kids who play them."

Genetics (predisposition towards violence) is a primary factor. Secondly it's parenting. Good healthy parenting, allowing kids to express themselves to an attentive parent without fear of judgment from them is the key to raising healthy, non-violent kids regardless of what video games they might be playing.

Do Violent Video Games Lead to Teen Crime?

Effects of Video Game Violence on ChildrenAs video games become more realistic and violent, a lot of parents, educators and child psychologist have wondered if such a rise in violent video game activity has increased a teen's tendency to become violent or turn to crime.Many experts have said over the years that violence on television, movies, and video games make kids more violent and more likely to engage in criminal activities. However, a recent study in Massachusetts disagrees with these theories after observing teenagers who played violent video games for several hours on a daily basis.The study in Massachusetts found that most kids were more likely to feel less agitated after playing a violent video game, so it can act as a great stress reducer and a way to kick back. It helps kids deal with their strong emotions that often come during those awkward teen years.Overall, the Massachusetts study found that video games do not lead to violence. In fact, video games are usually a social activity conducted with peers as a way to have fun together. Instead of playing board games or sitting in a cafe sucking down milk shakes, they're playing video games together. This social activity is actually good for teens, not dangerous.That's not to say that all children are calm while playing video games. Some children become too competitive, violent and angry if they don't win, and it doesn't have to be a violent video game for that to happen. However, it's important to realize that it's not the games that are the problem, but the child's reaction that should be addressed.Tips for Video Games and SafetyKeep the console in an open area and out of the kids' bedrooms.Decide how much time per day your teens are allowed to play video games, and stick to that rule.If your child becomes enraged while playing video games, teach an appropriate response and how to deal with his emotions.If your child behaved irresponsibly while playing video games, consider taking it away for a little while or restricting his time playing more than you are now.Remember that all kids are different, and as you are the parent, you ultimately have the last say.

Do violent video games cause violence in children?

There is scientific evidence that there is no directcorrelation between violent video games and violence in real life. However, people who play violent video games areusuallymoreprone tohaving shorter tempers, grumpier personalities, etc. In reality, it is up to the users' discretionwhetheror not to play the video games.Addendum:The "scientific" study that is so often used was conducted in the 1950's, decades before the development of the first commercial video game. What was used was violent images from comic books and serial movies. As stated, the only correlation that can be made from the original study is the people with alleged violent tendencies also have the tendency to be attracted to violent images. Go figure! There is no causation as implied by the question.
