Representation of Violence/Women in Video Games

GTA IV
GTA is a violent video games about a gangsters in a made up American City. This sandbox style game where you can either follow the narrative of the game or can do what you want throughout the city. It is heavily revolved around violence and crime as you are able to run around the town shooting innocent people and stealing cars, potentially mowing them down with your vehicle.  This representation of violence is negative as the audience will feel there is nothing wrong with violence and crime in the real world. Many people are influenced by the game and this can be a big problem as crime rates can increase because of it. Even though the game is a 18 BBFC certificate it still does not seem to justify the contents of the game at all. This is because anyone, any age, can be influenced by the negative representation of the violence and crime in the video game.
