Research 

Concern has been expressed about the influence of violent television on behaviour since 1952, something that is not generally known. As violence infected other aspects of the entertainment industry, the concern has grown to outright alarm. 
The "Research Links" page provides links to research documents and resources, and also links to advocacy organizations. 

The "Action Agenda: A Strategic Blueprint for Reducing Exposure to Media Violence in Canada", is an excellent resource for activists (download it here), as is "Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill: A Call to Action Against TV, Movie & Video Game Violence" by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and Gloria DeGaetano, available through book stores or from Dave Grossman's web site (www.killology.com).
