Terry Bosky writes "In 2007, results from a breakthrough Harvard video game study found that children used video games to manage their feelings, the stereotype of the socially stunted gamer was a myth, and there was no obvious connection between violent games and youth crime. Two of the researchers who conducted the study have written Grand Theft Childhood, due out this spring. Expanding on what they have already written, this authors promise to cut through the "myths and hysteria" about the affects of violent video games on children and address the real issues "parents, teachers and public policy makers" need to be concerned with. Co-author Dr. Cheryl K. Olson was kind enough to answer some questions I had about the book." Link to Original Source
