Violent Television Research
By the time the average U.S. child starts elementary school, he or she will have seen 8,000 murders on television. With more channels, less supervision, and an increasing supply of violence on mainstream TV, the opportunity for kid’s exposure to horrific acts of violence has never been greater. We have compiled research from across the country, to show parents, educators and medical professionals, as well as researchers and other interested parties the real impacts of violent television on children.
