xbox and lead and crime!?

I have always had a similar thought as this article did. It actually makes sense how videogames reduce crime rate. If someone can sit at home playing a videogame where they get to kill people that would more than likely reduce the angry thought that everyone gets. If a teen is sitting at home with his buddies playing video games then he isn't out on the streets tearing up the town and throwing trash on teachers streets. As for the housing question, it is a tricky situation. If you bring public housing to people who need it your doing a good thing and you will probably prevent some from committing crime. But it is also giving a place for drug dealers to house themselves and for criminals to move in. The whole lead thing I have to throw a huge BS flag on. I mean really these people think crime is reduced because there is less lead. what about all those people who lived through the 50's they were practically drowning in lead and they were just fine. I think that the reduction of lead does have a positive effect on humans but I do not think it can be directly related to a decrease in crime.
