By analyzing the whole case of James Bulger's murder, our reasoned judgement is as follows:
Corroborative and conflicting evidence:
- One of the boy's stepfather owned a collection of violent videos.
- The boys would watch violent videos as they skipped school.
- The stepfather of one of the boys had rented "Child's Play 3", a violent film, one week before the incident.
- There were significant similarities between scenes in the film and the killing of Hames Bulger.
- One of the children had parental issues: a drunken mother and suicide tendencies. The other one had behavior issues. Both children lived in poverty and had divorced parents.

Balance of evidence:
The press campaign suggests that the boys' actions may have been influenced by video nastiest. This is also supports this point of view. On the other hand, the police states that statistics fail to prove a reliable measure of crime; there's no way to really prove te children have watched the nasties.

While it is true that video nasties can affect children's attitudes towards the actions they take, we believe that the biggest cause of their behavior is due to the family background they grew up in
