A meta analysis from 2020 of 59 studies which tried to look for a link between pornography and sex crimes and couldn't find one.

It found studies which found a "link" failed to control for factors which might make it appear as if there is a link when there is not.

They also found tell-tale signs of p hacking and citation bias.

Studies which followed best practices didn't find this.
Population level studies showed more pornography was associated with lower crime.

They closed by calling for more research to be done.

It's interesting one researcher is from Texas given how anti-porn the politicians can be there.
