According to The Sun's report, Gordon Brown has once again aired his concerns over violent video games as he launched a crackdown on knife crime.

COPS will be ordered to prosecute anyone carrying a blade in a massive crackdown on Britain's knife crime epidemic, Gordon Brown declares.

"I am very worried about video and computer games. No one wants censorship or an interfering State. But the industry has some responsibility to society and needs to exercise that." he said.

It's not the first time Brown has linked games to violent crime, he has already said that "Parents are concerned" about harmful violence and sexual imagery in games and on the internet and "Society must look at video games", and how they affect children.
