The time devoted to violence on TV in no way reflects its importance in real life. In real life, most of us exercise, work, visit our friends, read, cook and eat and shop.

There have always been murderers, and stories about violence have been the theme of literature and song. However, things are different now.

We have clear records that this exposure makes it more likely that children will be violent and increase their fear levels about potential violence.
