Anti-Gaming Resources

edited March 2008 in Help / Advice Forum
So I'm writing a research paper on anti-gaming in the media. I was wondering if any of you dudes new some good links to articles about video games causing violent or sexual acts, or of articles where journalists use gaming as a reason for violence, or anti-gaming research. I have a lot of stuff already but the more the merrier.

    Also check out
    http://gamepolitics.com if you haven't already. While they are fairly pro-graming (or, at least, anti-stupidity) they have links to a lot of anti-game stories.
