Teenagers who drink alcohol are at higher risk of becoming victims of violence, a Cardiff University study has found.
A team from the School of Dentistry' s Violence Research Group studied drinking habits in
children aged | 1-16 in England. They found not only a link between drink and violence but also
that children who drank were more likely to be hit, even if they weren' t violent themselves.
The researchers are now calling for measures to prevent alcohol misuse to reduce injury
risk. Current policy focuses on reducing aggression but this research shows that there should be
equal effort to reduce victimization(受害).
More than 4,000 children were surveyed at 13 schools at four local authorities in the North, the Midlands, London, and the South. The study found that 25% of 1 l-year-olds were drinking
monthly and 3.6% daily, with 12.8% admitting to getting drunk 3 to 5 times a year. By the age
of 16, 40% were drinking weekly and 6.2% were drinking every day. The research also showed
22.6% of 16-year-olds were getting drunk more than 21 times a year.
The study, which has just been published in the Journal of Adolescence, found a strong
link between frequency of drinking and frequency of hitting other people.
However, children who reported drinking monthly were also three times more likely to be
hit. Adolescents(青少年) who drank but didn't get into fights were more likely to be hit than
those who did fight.
Professor Jonathan Shepherd, who led the research, said a lot of previous alcohol-related
violence work had focused on the offenders rather than the victims. His team is calling for more pre-vention work from parents and teachers in the first two years of secondary school by taking advantage of the "teachable moment", that is, immediately after a student has missed school because of drunkenness.
Previous work by Professor Jonathan Shepherd has shown drinkers may be more at risk of vio-lence because of reduced physical co-ordinatlon ( 配合), poor decision-making in threatening situa-tions and isolation while out late at night.
He said,"This new study seems to be the first to show a direct link between alcohol misuses and victimization. There now needs to be much more effort put into reducing alcohol misuse in order to reduce injury. "

     Nowadays people are troubled by the violence that spreads throughout the media. Movies, television and
video games are full of gunplay and bloodshed, and one might reasonably ask what's wrong with a, society
that presents videos of violence as entertainment.
     Viewing large amounts of violent television and video games may well contribute to violent behavior in
certain individuals. The trouble comes when researchers downplay uncertainties in their studies or overstate
the case for causality (因果关系). Skeptics (怀疑论者) were dismayed several years ago when a group of
societies including, the American Medical Association tried to end the debate by issuing a joint statement,"
At this time, well over l,000 studies... point to a causal connection between media violence and aggressive
behaviors (攻击性行为) in some children."
     Freedom-of-speech advocates accused the societies of appealing to politicians, and even disputed the
number of studies (most were review articles and essays, they said). When Jonathan Freedman, a social
psychologist at the University of Toronto, reviewed the literature, he found only 200 0r so studies of television-
watching and aggression. And when he weeded out "the most doubtful measures of aggression", only 28%
supported a connection.
     The critical point here is causality. The alarmists say they have proved that violent media cause aggression.
But the assumptions behind their observations need to be examined. When labeling games as violent or non-
violent, should a hero eating a ghost really be counted as a violent event? And when experimenters record the
time it takes game players to read "aggressive" or "non-aggressive" words from a list, can we be sure what
they are actually measuring? The intention of the new Harvard Center on Media and Child Health to collect and
standardize studies of media violence in order to compare their methodologies, assumptions and conclusions
is an important step in the right direction.
     Another appropriate step would be to tone down the criticism until we know more. Several researchers
write, speak and testify quite a lot on the threat posed by violence in the media. That is, of course, their
privilege. But when doing so, they often come out with statements that the matter has now been settled,
drawing criticism from colleagues. In response, the alarmists accuse critics and news reporters of being
deceived by the entertainment industry. Such clashes help neither science nor society.
1. Why is there so much violence shown in movies, TV and video games?
A. There is a lot of violence in the real world today.
B. Something has gone wrong with today's society.
C. Many people are fond of gunplay and bloodshed.
D. Showing violence is thought to be entertaining.
2. What is the skeptics' view of media violence?
A. Violence on television is a fairly accurate reflection of real- world life.
B. A causal relationship exists between media and real-world violence.
C. Most studies overstate the effect of media violence on the viewers.
D. The influence of media violence on children has been underestimated.
3. The author uses the term "alarmists" to refer to those who _____.
A. use standardized measures in the studies of media violence
B. insist on a direct link between violent media and aggressive behavior
C. initiate the debate over the influence of violence media on reality
D. use appropriate methodology in examining aggressive behavior
4. What does the writer think of the debate concerning the relationship between the media and violence?
A. He more than agrees with the views held by the alarmists.
B. It should come to an end since the matter has now been settled.
C. The past studies in this field have proved to be misleading.
D. More studies should be conducted before conclusions are drawn.
