Dimensions of Television Violence

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

Television is often blamed for the increased breakdown of family life and for encouraging violent and anti-social behaviour amongst adolescents. How much of this criticism is justified? Barrie Gunter, a chartered psychologist, and Jill McAleer, a qualified teacher, are both media research specialists. They examine research evidence on the way children use television, their responses to it, and the effects it has on them. They describe children's interactions with television in a readable, non-technical style, dispelling many of the myths about television's hold over young people. Taking a balanced view of the medium's impact on children, they show how television can be a valuable tool in the home and at school, and has an important role to play in children's intellectual and social development. Gunter and McAleer conclude that children are more selective and critical viewers than we often give them credit for. Children control television far more than it controls them. This book should be of interest to students and professionals of communications, media, film and TV, psychology and sociology, education.

There is a growing concern about the rise of gambling in many countries. With the expansion of online gambling opportunities and the relaxation of restrictions on gambling around the world, the industry has increased their investment in marketing activities. The use of diverse and highly visible promotional reminders has been identified as an important influence on problem gambling. Gambling critics, activists and some media campaigns have called for tighter controls over gambling advertising and some national governments have begun to review their legislation and regulatory practices. Gambling Advertising: Nature, Effects and Regulation examines these issues and reviews empirical research about the role of advertising and other forms of marketing in the encouragement of gambling behaviour. However, despite the accumulation of research evidence about the nature and effects of gambling advertising and promotion over the first two decades of the 21st century, there are still gaps in our knowledge. In its attempts to clarify the effectiveness of specific restrictions on the location, amount and nature of gambling advertising, this book will aid university teachers and researchers working in fields such as advertising and marketing, business, communications and media, leisure, and advertising and gambling regulation.
