How many people do you think went and blew up a hospital because they saw The Dark Knight? Of the millions of people, how many?
If a crime is commited, blame the person who commited it, not the pictures or movies they saw. Or blame the society who ostracizes them to the point that if they want to satisfy their urges, they don't know any better way. Admitting even to a psychiatrist who is supposed to keep your sessions confidential is pretty much shooting yourself in the foot, and you can't expect everybody to figure out the correct behaviour on their own.
Bleh the problem is people get entertained by watching illegal activities and manage to pay somehow for it, thus providing moneys to people who commit such, who in turn keep on doing such illegal activity (Child porn). If we censor the illegal activity and prevent criminals from making a profit on their crimes there might be less activity.
Also you have to know that censorship is different for different things, for instance here in southperry censorship is humurous and is used to make violent and vulgar ideas of hate lighter. Curse words are used to emphisize hate and degrade some action or someone; regardless of whether its justified.
On another note, its a sad thing that people get entertained by mass destruction, I miss the days when people thought the moon landing was cool.
