If you look at statistics regarding rates of violent crime and the introduction of the gaming and television eras you will clearly see a correlation of a decline in crime. It is highly doubtful that video games and TV cause less criminal behavior but there are no empirical evidence whatsoever that video games create violent individuals.
The violence displayed by individuals that is a result of video game interaction is not non existent however. Video games can give a person who is already predisposed to engaging in a violent or illicit activity a methodology to replicate.
Video games don't create violence but violent people might parrot actions that they observed from other sources. The prevalence of violent TV and video game consumption vs crime rates is a clear enough example to negate any argument that decries these forums of entertainment.
