Then I would ask people in the same age group to take the survey so either children, teens, adults, or elders, and would get the same about of females and males to take the survey so that its evenly.

With disadvantages I feel like some would be the fact that people would feel uncomfortable to answer the questions to the point they are not honest with their responses or wouldn't answer them at

The reasons people act violently is a broad topic of study. Although many psychologists and people in general continue to speculate about what those reasons may be.
