However, it is rare that anyone stops to ask what this statement means. \u003cem\u003eViolence on Television\u003c\/em\u003e provides an objective analysis of the violence on television, how much there is and what form it takes.\u003cbr\u003eIt presents findings from the largest ever sudy of the depiction of violence on television carried out in Britain, funded by the British Broadcasting Corporation and the Independent Television Commission. As well as presenting a quantitative analysis of the amount of violence on television, this research places great emphasis on investigating the character of violent portrayals and the contexts in which they occur.\u003cbr\u003eBarrie Gunter and Jackie Harrison present a detailed literature review, which examines previous research from around the world. They then explain the methodology and look at the problems of measuring and quantifying violence on television. They examine the specific attributes of violence, including the form it takes, its physical setting, its motives and consequences, and the nature of the characters involved as either aggressors or victims. They also examine the amount and nature of violent portrayals in different programme genres, such as films and drama, entertainment programming, news and factual programmes, and children's programmes.\u003cbr\u003eThe book will be of interest to students and researchers in psychology, communication studies and media studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barrie Gunter, Jackie Harrison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138986755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138986756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.72d","brand":"Barrie Gunter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44063789777151,"sku":"9781138986756","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_97c9abd5-1410-4b3a-984d-969fa391e230.jpg?v=1685391662","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/violence-on-television-barrie-gunter-9781138986756","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
