This report is not intended to be a comprehensive study of the use of violence and sexual scenes for entertainment in the media. It is a report to Members of Parliament drawing attention to a serious social problem with grave consequences for some of the most vulnerable members of society. The report is a presentation of the professional experience of a representative group of those who work in the community, plus a national opinion poll on public perception of the social effects of sex and violence in the media.

There is mounting evidence from teachers, social workers, probation officers, doctors, psychiatrists, paediatricians, as well as from the police and prison service that there is a link between scenes of violence depicted on film, TV and video and human behaviour. The working party has drawn together a large body of evidence of this link, a small selection of which is presented in this report.
