My intention isn't to state that video games help develope viloence and aggressiveness in people, but that they do not. I need information to back my claim, and also information that provides an opposing view point.

"Gosh luv.kisses, some folks are up-in-arms about the violence of video games. Years ago, I used to play them quite a lot. They were "fun." The games didn't make me do anything, but, want to acquire a better score all the time.
Games have no power over me or my thoughts. I would no more think of hurting someone, because of them, than think they raise IQ scores in mentally challenged individuals.
I used to read hundreds of books, many about violence and destruction... they didn't "make" me do anything, but enjoy them.
These "Psychologists" we hear, trying to attach games to external violence, aren't that intelligent in my opinion. I am the one who decides to be violent ... when I desire it. No game can make me do anything except spend another quarter on 'em; however, there may be some folks that can be manipulated to spend an inordinate amount of time, energy and money."

Did you stop to think that before their were video games there was a greater level of violence in the world. You have fallen under the misapprehension of the simple correlation. There is no scientific proof that video games do any of the outrageous things that social scientist say they do; positively or negatively correlated.
