I have been trying to find the FBI's statistics involving violent crime rates (especially among youth) for my essay about why the ban of the sale of violent video games to minors is wrong. So far I've had little luck. Any help on finding it would be appreciated, as well as any reputable info supporting my belief. Don't get me wrong, I'm doing research on my own, but any contributions would be extremely helpful.

P.S. I'm not interested in disscussing my opinion, just in getting facts that suppoert it, with the primary emphasis on the FBI's most recent statistics. So if you don't agree, I don't care, so don't post.






Thanks guys.

I think it will be hard to get some info from the FBI but I don't know. Good luck.
In case it helps here is the FBI website http://www.fbi.gov/

Once you're finished, perhaps you could share your results in this discussion. I hope you find a better graph this time.

Bureau of Justice Statistics.

I know the essay is about the USA, but I thought you might like to cross-reference with statistics from the UK for patterns between demographics or whatever. Hope it helps...

This might not be any help to you but i remember a long time ago there was an article thats sounds like what you are doing, I cant remember which magizine it was so this reply worthless. XD Please love me.

P.S. I think the end result was that the crime rate has gone down since like the realease of Grand Theft Atuo. Ill try to find teh magizine.

I'm not here to be loved mate. Adored, yes; worshipped, maybe; but not loved.

Anyway, good luck with the assignment, and let us know your findings in the thread.

Not really sure what kind of info you're looking for, exactly, but the ESRB might be a good place to look.

The Magazine is PCGamer, and the Article is titled, "The Kids Aren't Killing". I've tried to find it myself and alas I cannot.
