Apstrakt

Prikaz kriminala u video igrama postao je središnja tema akademske i društvene debate zbog potencijalnog uticaja na percepciju kriminalnog ponašanja i moralnosti kod igrača. Ovaj rad kritički ispituje način na koji je kriminal prikazan u različitim žanrovima video igara, istražujući narativne strukture, razvoj likova i interaktivne mehanike koje doprinose ovim prikazima. Kroz metodološki pristup koji kombinuje analizu sadržaja popularnih igara fokusiranih na kriminal i pregled iskustava i reakcija igrača, procenjujemo u kojoj meri video igre normalizuju ili dovode u pitanje kriminalne aktivnosti. Pored toga, studija razmatra implikacije prikaza kriminala na individualnu psihologiju i šire kulturne stavove prema zakonu, pravdi i moralnosti. Rezultati ističu složenu i višeslojnu ulogu koju video igre igraju u oblikovanju društvenih stavova prema kriminalu, sa posebnim osvrtom na uticaj imerzivnog pripovedanja i agencije igrača. Ovo istraživanje doprinosi sve većem korpusu literature na raskrsnici digitalne zabave, psihologije i kriminologije, nudeći uvide u potencijalni uticaj video igara na društvene stavove i ponašanja vezana za kriminal.
