He is just one of the 173,525 juveniles who committed a crime in only one year in the state of Florida alone. This is partly because of the 10,000 murders, rapes, and aggravated assaults they witnessed in their own living rooms that year.
Violence is prevalent in television shows and movies, being watched by people of all ages.
The violence seen in television shows and movies seems to be having a strong negative influence on adolescents behavior. In fact, there is an enormous amount of violence shown on television today. It is estimated that by the age of 18 an average child will have witnessed 200,000 acts of violence. 25,000 of these are murders. If teens are seeing this much violence it could desensitize them, and make them think that violence is acceptable.
