Question 2: Serial killer Ted Bundy attributed his crimes to influence of pornography. Does pornography causes or contribute to crime. Do you think that slasher films, which are not usually considered pornography, increase crime and delinquency? What would be the effect on crime by eliminating all restrictions on the public's access to pornography?

There are some studies that indicate that exposure to violent pornography does increase the individuals acceptance of violent crime. An individual with the profile of Ted Bundy may be more likely to watch pornography and slasher films, but the films do not cause the criminal behavior. They might shape some of the more lurid details of the crime, such as the ritualistic aspects of his behavior, but eliminating pornography will not eliminate rapes and murders. Laboratory research indicates a slight tendency that pornography can predispose some males to desire rape or intensify this desire and undermine some males internal and social inhibitions against acting out rape desires although it is very difficult to measures such affects in artificial laboratory settings (Jensen 2004, p.4)
Eliminating all restrictions on pornography would not just be controversial, but also problematic, given that some legal oversight of the industry is necessary
