PETALING JAYA: It often begins innocently enough – a few rounds of Roblox, Minecraft or Free Fire – but for many young minds, online gaming may turn into a daily habit that shapes their thoughts, emotions and social interactions.
While gaming alone does not necessarily lead to criminal behaviour, factors such as family environment, personality and social context can influence how repeated exposure to violent gameplay shapes attitudes, said criminologist Prof Datuk Dr P. Sundramoorthy of Universiti Sains Malaysia.
