Internet porn, a good thing? It seems the number of rapes goes down with greater access to porn.
The bottom line on these experiments is, “More Net access, less rape.” A 10 percent increase in Net access yields about a 7.3 percent decrease in reported rapes. States that adopted the Internet quickly saw the biggest declines. And, according to Clemson professor Todd Kendall, the effects remain even after you control for all of the obvious confounding variables, such as alcohol consumption, police presence, poverty and unemployment rates, population density, and so forth.
the effects are strongest among 15-year-old to 19-year-old perpetrators
The case for this being down to porn is pretty tenuous. perhaps they’re all playing world of warcraft.
