Will controling the amount of violence in films and on TV reduce violent crimes?
Is the prevalence of violence related to increasing violence in films and TV?
Can its rate be reduced by controlling level of violence in entertainment?
There is growing concern over increasing media violence nowadays.
Some people belief that violence in media can lead to real life aggressiveness.It is supported by some observations;introduction of television sets,for example,parallels with increased crime rate in North America.In order to bring down violence in community,it is sensible to regulate films and TV strictly.Although the link between brutal scenes in media and destructive behaviour is probable,there are other reasons that cause crimes.
Several factors influence the incidence of violence.
Poverty is an important variable,inequality in particular,which perpetrates crime.In addition,unemployment can also lead to violence,so is the growing gap between richest and poorest members of society.All these factors are closely interrelated and unless we address these major issues,our community will be continually facing increasing violence.
