Abstract

A comparison of government action in the areas of broadcast violence and sexually offensive materials can provide the basis for stricter control of that televised violence. The Federal Communications Commission has been reluctant to deal with violence, citing First Amendment considerations, but historically has shown little such concern in the regulation of “sexually offensive” materials. Precedents and arguments are offered and examined and the stricter control of violent and aggressive program content is urged.
