    • Abstract:
      With the arrival of television upon the social scene, there has been a renewal of widespread concern that the prevalence of violent, themes in the dramatic presentations featured by the mass media may have harmful effects on the audience, especially the child audience. This concern had earlier focused on violent presentations in radio and in movies and it has been expressed in countless articles and discussions in the popular press and even in the conduct of a legislative investigation of the entertainment industry.
