Reason.com reports that this consensus is cracking [1] And the correction at the end begs a fascinating question about whether the media should present both sides of an issue. If 99% of research says A and 1% says not-A, is the media being misleading by reporting both views? If the media doesn't present not-A, then is it censoring opposing views?

Actually, they published an article highlighting the different view of a single researcher (ok - he had a co-author in one paper). Note that the paper showing the decrease in violence makes no claims for the reasons behind it.

I find his argument compelling, but that doesn't mean the consensus is any different.
