Rejected petition Ban the sale of all computer games that glamorise violent or criminal behaviour.

More details

The recent riots, and comments made by those involved, clearly demonstrate that computer games that contain violent and criminal content have created a generation that cannot differentiate between these games and the need to behave in a civilised manner in public places. The comparison between what is happening in our major cities and the content of computer games containing appalling and sickening content is frightening. The sale of such computer games that have a pronounced effect on the behaviour of individuals with limited intelligence needs to be stopped.
