9. Not really.
The culture is being driven by the people around the kids that become violent criminals much more strongly than just in the media. Not to say the media isn't a factor, but the media is driven by the culture at least as much as it drives the culture itself. It's a two way street.

I think legalizing drugs would do a LOT more to reduce our violent crime problem than anything we could do with the media. Not to mention we don't run into any first amendment type issues either.
