The theory posits that a high consumption of murder content in TV shows and movies during the pandemic coincided with a rise in real-world murders. Conversely, a decrease in watching such content was followed by a decrease in the murder rate. The suggestion is to measure the influence of seeing murders in fiction on actual murder rates over different time periods. The theory also speculates that certain highly violent movies might have a more pronounced effect on real-world violence. For instance, the success of the movie 'Kill Bill' with its excessive violence could potentially correlate with a shift in the murder rate.
