It examines the debates about the potential effects of these games and the divisions between scholars working in the field. It places the research on violent video games in the longer historical context of scholarly work on media violence. It examines research from around the world on the nature of video games and their effects. It provides a critique of relevant theories of media violence effects and in particular theories developed within the older media violence literature and then considers how useful this and newer scholarly work might be for policy-makers and regulators. The book identifies where gaps exist in the extent literature and where future research attention might be directed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barrie Gunter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1137579846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137579843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Barrie Gunter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087680516351,"sku":"9781137579843","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f4bcc379-1d04-4da9-a088-a819a2af1164.jpg?v=1769100806","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/does-playing-video-games-make-barrie-gunter-9781137579843","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
