This is a completely reworked, up-to-date book about the marketing of violence in our society and its impact on our youth. The ever increasing debasement of human values by toymakers, video game and TV producers, and the Internet, is charted by some of the world’s best known commentators.

The book includes chapters by Professor Diane Levin from Wheelock College, Boston; Dr Patricia Edgar, well known for her championing of better television programs for children; Barbara Higgins from Young Media Australia; and Lt Col Dave Grossman, an expert on the army’s methods of training young men to be violent.

There are also articles from the American organisation, “Lion & Lamb Project” with positive suggestions for parents on methods of combatting media violence.
