The selective presentation of sensational violence leads to a warped world view. The viewers’ perception of the world is limited or distorted by selective associations via news reports. This can encourage negative attitudes towards certain countries, nationalities, races, religions and cultures. It also creates a climate of fear and raises the possibility of an escalation in violence as people feel a need to protect themselves and may carry weapons or retaliate more violently than is necessary.

On the other hand, there are others who assert that media violence will not lead to people becoming violent. It has been argued that people will not commit a murder just because they have just watched a murder flick. In addition, social scientists have been unable to establish clearly that media violence causes real-life aggression. By arguing otherwise, we are in fact overstating the power of the image and understating the role of the parents.

It is important to note that media violence researchers do not claim that media violence effects are the only or most important cause of aggressive behaviour. Aggressive behaviour occurs because of a combination of factors such as family upbringing, marital discord, single-parent status or divorce, low socio-economic status, maternal psychological distress and the society which one lives on.  

Thus, the small fraction of young people who commit violence are the ones most likely to slip through (inherent) cracks in the law.
