Two researchers note, "In the past decade, media-effects researchers have progressively reached consensus that exposure to television violence can result in aggressive behavior" (Greene & Krcmar, 2005). In addition, a fifteen-year study by the American Psychological Association (APA) also showed that both men and women are affected by media violence, and that adults who watched this media as children tended to be more violent, and convicted of more violent crimes (Partenheimer, 2003). In the past decade, violence has become much more common in the media, as well, and adults and children alike seem to be more immune to it. Children and teens are exposed to violence on television,...
All of this is having an effect on violence in the nation's young people.
All of this violence in the media indicates that some types of people enjoy this violence and seek it out. Viewing this violence leads to different behaviors in different people. For example, violent films lead to verbal aggressiveness, or bullying, in children and teens. The two researchers continue, "Our findings suggest that verbal aggressiveness is positively related to violent movie and horror movie exposure, as predicted. Furthermore, argumentativeness is positively related to violent movie exposure, real crime television exposure and violent television exposure" (Greene & Krcmar, 2005).

Violence in Public Schools The recent violence on school grounds (including elementary, middle school and high school violence) has created a climate of fear in American public schools, and the literature presented in this review relates to that fear and to the difficulty schools face in determining what students might be capable of mass killings on campus.

James Potter concludes that "Long-term exposure to media violence is related to aggression in a person's life," and that "Media violence is related to subsequent violence in society," (26). Potter also suggests that certain socio-economic and ethnic groups might be more at-risk for developing aggressive symptoms related to exposure to media
