'I just think some young people, the video games they play, the stuff they see online, it may desensitise them to violence'

Nobby the polar bear cools down at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park during unseasonably warm weather. The park was covered in a blanket of snow at the end of February 2018 as the UK was hit by sub-zero temperatures.

Interesting!

Also a we have a whole generation of kids who no longer are allowed to be disciplined like before ! So they have grown up invincible ! With the smart phone day and age parents are spending less and less time with their young children and young adults so they go amuse themselves

And what scientific research has she based this on?

Yeah because those things create gang culture, drug dealing and turf wars, The lack of officers on the street and the right to stop and search on a regular basis is giving these arseholes a free pass. Put a long jail term on carrying and a FULL life sentence on using.

Maybe, blaming criminal behavior on video games and porn, instead of holding people responsible for their actions, is the reason people commit crimes.

What a load of rubbish!

Yes, because hardcore porn and video games were only invented in 2015 weren't they 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Bullshit. Utter nonsense. Absolute drivel.

If they added drugs to that list you could argue they are at risk of becoming politicians! Anyone can spout crap, I think we all know a few more reasons why these 'kids are stabbing each other.

Boy, sure glad other countries don't have access to hardcore pornography and violent entertainment, or else they'd see a huge rise in domestic violence, crime, stabbings, etc as well...(!) Oh wait, they do have access, and it's more likely a result of austerity cuts. Oh well(!)

Porn definitely Gaming nope

- Defunds police, crime rises. - Blames media based on no prior study or statistics while saying “I’m not one to blame media...” - Suggests more internet content moderation from tech companies. Take some responsibility, lady.

And also, video games are played in the USA, Japan and UK to name a few Usa have levels of gun crime, UK now supposedly has knife crime, what exactly does Japan have? Since they create alot of these video games and as a whole have a culture of peace. Stupid article.

Swamp_Fever2020 I call BS. More likely is the fact the US Department of Health and Human Services is forcibly kidnapping around 800,000 kids a year, many never to be seen or heard from again! Watch live video of the kidnappings for yourself

Lack of funding for education, police force, bigoted people teaching our young that it’s ok to be racist, homophobic, ageist, islamiphobic is the reason for the rise in violent crime!! No wonder the country is going to shit! They don’t have a clue idiots

Yeah, cos hardcore porn and video games didn’t exist pre-2016, which is when the violent crime surge began.

Bad parenting? Absent fathers? Twisted religious views?

I don't recall any gangs using dildos to stab each other 🤔

Lol... no. There is NO punishment at all for people committing atrocities. Just the other day a boy stabbed 5.30pm daylight in Birm city centre. Wheres the punishment? Its not equal to the crime + less police, you have a right mess. The above states does not contribute!

Don't forget to add Hip Hop to that list
