media violence can influence children of different ages, giving
parents and teachers the power to maximize the media's benefits and
minimize its harm. There are many opinions about media violence and

top experts gather the latest results from 50 years of scientific
study as the basis for a comprehensive, in-depth examination of the
complex issues surrounding the effects of media violence of
different types. Each chapter focuses on a particular issue of
concern, including "hot" topics such as brain development,
cyber-bullying, video games, and verbal aggression. Articles take
into account factors such as economics, differences based on the
ages of children, and differences between types of media violence.
