Recently, Adam Sessler, host of G4TV's XPlay, interviewed the authors of Grand Theft Childhood. The book, which examines the link between between violent video games and youth violence, was released just last week.
The book's authors, Dr. Lawrence Kutner and Dr. Cheryl Olson, are a married couple who, at the urging of their son, decided to seek federal funding to pursue this study. After receiving grants from the U.S. Department of Justice, the pair started their investigation of over 1200 children and their parents. What they found, may surprise you.
I am in the middle of reading this book, and hope to have a full book review in the next few weeks.
