All of the women in Grand Theft Auto are represented as sluts. They wear short skirts etc. and talk stupidly and say stupid comments. Most of the women are seen as; gold diggers, prostitutes, stupid and are treated are perceived as sex objects.
Violence is also a common theme in Grand Theft Auto. You can have a range of weapons from knifes, to guns, to rockets etc. You can beat up/attack anyone, including police and tramps.
The target audience is teenagers, despite the PEGI rating being 18. It has a high rating because of common themes of sex, drugs and violence. It is targeted to teenagers because it is sensationalist and glorifies sex, drugs and violence.
Issues surrounding the game, as an example, would be an incident that occurred in Thailand. A teenage boy went on a Grand Theft Auto style rampage, killing people and stealing cars and blamed his actions on the game when questioned by the police and court. He thought the actions were acceptable because he had done the crimes on the game and gotten away with it. [
