Here is a Game Violence-related article entitled A Game Called Suicide which is about the book entitled "Under the Deadman's Skin: Discovering the Meaning of Children's Violent Play" by Jane Katch. Katch who was a teacher for more than 20 years decided that it was "more important to understand children's violence than it was to censor it." Here is a quote from the article: "The book offers a close examination of the daily interactions of the young children in Katch's care, told through careful observation, most often in the children's own words. As a book, it is compelling for its spare prose and sensitive dialogue with children. As a social document, it acts as a map for all those people -- teachers, parents and politicians -- who would like to understand why children do the things they do. Katch spoke with Salon about the importance of allowing children to explore their fantasy lives."
