This paper examines how violence in the media has become a commonplace affair and discusses whether television violence results
in more aggressive or deviant behavior and whether it is likely to lead to criminal behavior. Through a literature review, the paper looks at how studies have proved that media
violence can lead to criminal behavior and how many sociologists have concluded that violence in television media impacts viewers in a negative manner. It also shows how television violence impacts youths and
adolescents much more frequently than it impacts adults.
