Abstract

Abstract : The SPSSI summary of research into media‐related violence is one of a series of such expert reviews over many years drawing much the same conclusions. It is necessary because of issues among legislators and regulators, and sections of the academic community that lead to a lack of effective policy response to the findings. The influence of media research deniers justifies the regular production of such reviews so that, should the sociopolitical climate shift, there will be a body of knowledge upon which to build a strategy for change. As such, this summary represents a valuable contribution to the field.
