Overview

Television, it seems, is presented as an increasingly influential force in society, even though there has been scant discussion of how it really influences the behaviour of young people. Brian Simpson seeks to redress the balance and investigates why television is a welcome scapegoat. The idea for this book grew from a concern with the manner in which television is often cited as a cause of violent crime or behaviour. Usually, this connection is made in the context of the behaviour of young people - as another way of blaming young people for the broader ills of society. On the other hand, it is rare for even a single reference to television to be included in the index of reports on juvenile crime.
