I think the graphs are related through appearance and both graphs are analysed for 8 - 9 years and the time period is also almost the same. They have the same graph source.

I think we these sources are reliable, because they don't have any benefits when they show wrong graph. For example, if they can get more money with graph, it's not reliable, but they can't get more money with the graph.

The reason why author combine those different data is because there are some bloody game that will effect people's heart and then having violence behavior

According to my opinion,  the source about increasing sales of video-games is not reliable, because producers are interested in getting money, so maybe they speculate on this information to encourage people to buy games. Information in graph about decreasing crimes in the U.S. is reliable, because official source can't falsify information.

In my opinion the author combined data from both graphs because he or she wanted us to know how computer video games may sometimes be related to violent crimes because some video games include violence and I guess that people are motivated to do what appears in the games.

I don't think two graphs are related because one graph is talking about violent crime and one is talking about computer and video games, they are two different things. When the video game sales increases, the violent crime decreases. it doesn't make sense. Overall, I think there isn't a correlation between violent crime and computer and video game sales.

Do you think these sources are reliable? Why or why not?

Why did the author combine data from the Entertainment Software Association and the Bureau of Justice Statistics (what is the author’s purpose)?

Yes, both sources are reliable because they are related to the topic. Although one is a .com, the .gov is a govt site and we know we can trust that site.

The author wanted to try to show a connection between the popularity of video games and the number of crimes committed.

There is a correlation but correlation does not equal causation! The line graph shows the # of total violent crime offenses and NOT the number of violent crimes committed by video game players.
