Violence on television

"This book presents the findings of the largest British study of violence on TV ever undertaken. The research was funded by the broadcasting industry and was designed to provide an up-to-date snapshot of the status of violence on TV. One chapter is dedicated to a comparison of findings from Britain and America. A total of nearly 11,000 hours of television output was monitored from 56 selected days sampled across a two-year period, covering eight channels in year one and ten channels in year two."--BOOK JACKET.
