Quote

…my view is that zero tolerance practices are not explicitly based on any hard evidence of a causal connection between early toy gun, weapon and superhero play and the development of aggressive behaviour, but rather on a common-sense, nurture-based belief that there might well be, and that no harm could be done by acting on that assumption. While few practitioners make specific reference to theory or research supporting this assumption, many believe that such research exists and supports a zero tolerance approach.
