Even though many studies have been conducted on the effects of TV violence on youngsters many scientists doubt that a connection exists between these two topics. Most simply say that there is just not enough evidence available to make a definite conclusion. In the end it is up to the parents of children to make the ultimate decision of what should or should not be watched. First is the limiting of the amount of hours watched. Because there is a great deal of violence both in children and adult programs this will probably lesson the amount of violence they see.
Parents can also sit down and watch certain television programs with their children.
This way they can explain why certain acts of violence were committed. There have been several occurrences where censorship has been enforced, but most of these were attacked and refuted. In 1992 the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a law authorizing cable company censorship of some types of constitutionally protected speech on public, educational, and governmental access channels on cable television. The two parties in the case were the Alliance for Community Media versus Federal Communications Commission. The federal government attempted to use cable operators as 'cover' in order to censor speech protected by the First Amendment.
