Tories consider action on violent video games
Cameron's "mini-manifesto" to look at the "context in which people are growing up"
Conservative Party leader David Cameron is due to unveil a mini-manifesto shortly which will include dealing with violent videogames as a part of his approach to dealing with crime.
Speaking to the BBC, Cameron outlined a number of changes needed to address the "broader" issues on crime, rather than the "one-dimensional" approach he said is being taken by the current Labour government.
"We are never going to deal with crime unless we look at the broader context and say 'Yes, tough laws, strong action on police, but also action to strengthen our society.'"
"And that includes, I think, videogames and things like that where we do need to think of the context in which people are growing up."
No further details as to how any policy relating to video games would be worded have been made available as yet, although a fuller explanation of Cameron's plans is expected soon.
