Description
This handbook presents the views of those who believe violence in the media causes violent behavior and those who remain unconvinced that any such relationship exists, and examines the results of studies on violence in the media and recommendations for its control.
The controversial relationship between violent behavior in American society and violent acts portrayed in the media—motion pictures, television, pop music, and video games—forms the subject of this reference work.
Violence and the Media provides a section on legal data, opinions, and documents, and provides a close-up look at the legislative issues surrounding violence and the media. It is a vital resource for high school and college students, legislators, and concerned laypersons.
