From the Paper:

"However, most of us will not experience some kind of serious head injury that changes who we are in such an important way. The research on things like violence in television and video games is mixed, and the fact remains that while most people watch television, most people do not become murderers. While some research on television habits shows an increase in aggression (Hough, 1997), it hasn't been tied to murder and other serious acts of violence."
