Video games have triggered substantial controversy due to highly publicized incidents of youth violence allegedly inspired by violent games. Several jurisdictions have passed legislation penalizing the distribution of violent games to minors using social science research is support of those laws. However, courts have consistently struck down restrictive video game legislation on First Amendment grounds. This dissertation will first explore freedom of speech along with its underlying psychological assumptions. Next, courts' rationales for barring enforcement of restrictive video game legislation will be discussed. The body of psychological research on video game violence and aggression is also described. This is followed by recommendations for researchers designing studies to use as evidence in future cases.
