Violence, Sex and Bad Language

Jeremy Potter

Chapter 9 in Independent Television in Britain, 1989, pp 137-152 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Were the growth in television viewing and the growth of violence in society during the 1960s and 1970s parallel developments or cause and effect? Was this a prime example of the evil influence of the intrusive box or of psychological need for a scapegoat? On both sides of the Atlantic research studies multiplied, but differences of opinion on their interpretation tended to exacerbate the controversy rather than clarify the issues. In a long-running and unresolved argument the broadcasters were forced on the defensive and required to prove their innocence.
