Answer:
While watching violent media images might have influenced some violent crimes, it is clear that thousands watch these programmes or play these video games without going on to commit criminal violence. Therefore, while it might influence people's behaviour, it cannot be the sole cause of the crimes.

Answer:
Media reporting often highlights random and unexpected crimes. As a result, individuals can imagine themselves as potential victims of such events. Sensationalist media reporting contributes to moral panic (or outrage directed at certain groups such as youth or particular ethnic groups).
