Peer reviewedThornton, William; Voigt, Lydia – Youth and Society, 1984
Reviews literature concerning television's role in influencing child violence and delinquency and presents data from a survey of 3500 students in three public schools. Concludes that studying media variables--program preference, for instance--is more rewarding than trying to establish a direct link between television and aggressive behavior. (KH)
