Television is often accused of showing too much violence. However,
it is rare that anyone stops to ask what this statement means.
Violence on Television provides an objective analysis of the
violence on television, how much there is and what form it takes.
It presents findings from the largest ever sudy of the depiction of
violence on television carried out in Britain, funded by the
British Broadcasting Corporation and the Independent Television
Commission. As well as presenting a quantitative analysis of the
amount of violence on television, this research places great
emphasis on investigating the character of violent portrayals and
the contexts in which they occur. Barrie Gunter and Jackie Harrison
present a detailed literature review, which examines previous
research from around the world. They then explain the methodology
and look at the problems of measuring and quantifying violence on
television. They examine the specific attributes of violence,
including the form it takes, its physical setting, its motives and
consequences, and the nature of the characters involved as either
aggressors or victims. They also examine the amount and nature of
violent portrayals in different programme genres, such as films and
drama, entertainment programming, news and factual programmes, and
children's programmes. The book will be of interest to students and
researchers in psychology, communication studies and media studies.
