The debate between violent video games and violence / aggressive behavior is not a new phenomenon. Most of the people without any confirmation think violent video games cause violent behavior.This debate is one of the most talked of the topics now, but evidence shows that the relationship between violent behavior and playing violent video games is very little and most of the times people tend do violence because of some external factors. Studies show that people play violent video games only for fun.

Although, violent behavior is linked with playing violent video games, but people / students can do violence for some other external reasons. Anne and Walling (2002) observed that although violent behavior is linked with playing violent video games but many other factors like family disruption, parental abuse or neglect can cause youth violence and delinquency. According to Benjamin Radford (2008) observation, if violent entertainment caused real violence, logic would dictate that the violent crime rate would have skyrocketed in recent years because the rate of violent video gamers is pretty high.
