27 hours of television each week, and some children are exposed
to as much as 11 hours of television each day.
(2) The average American child watches 8,000 murders and
100,000 acts of other violence on television by the time the
child completes elementary school.

has watched 200,000 acts of violence on television, including
40,000 murders.

Americans indicates that 72 percent of the American people
believe that there is too much violence on television, and,
according to a survey by U.S. News and World Report dated May
1994, 91 percent of American voters believe that mayhem in the
media contributes to violence in real life.
(5) On several occasions since 1975, The Journal of the
American Medical Association has alerted the medical community
to the adverse effects of televised violence on child
development, including an increase in the level of aggressive
behavior and violent behavior among children who view it.

that producers of television programs exercise greater
restraint in the content of programming for children.

dated May 1993, indicates that there is an irrefutable
connection between the amount of violence depicted in the
television programs watched by children and increased
aggressive behavior among children.

empowered with the technology to block the viewing of
television programs whose content is overly violent or
objectionable for other reasons.
