I have stumbled across a website that contains several extracts from the book
Contexts, a quarterly journal published by the American Sociological Association, USC's Karen Sternheimer. The book details how the theory that violence in video games cause real world violence is nothing but a myth and an attempt for people to try and understand why such acts are commited by the youth of society. She also details how such a theory also has slight racist undertones.
