Originally a Unesco project, this annotate bibliography results from
more than 4,600 requests to media scholars and researchers for
research reports, publications, and other information relating to
violence and terrorism. Although there is an international cast to the
materials, most are from the U.S. Even though violence and terrorism
permeate our myths and legends, there is increasing concern with their
effect on viewers. This bibliography is particularly timely, with
entries through spring 1987. The sections of the work (mass media
content, mass media effects, pornography and the media, terrorism and
the media) give a better idea of the work's scope than does the title.
Choice [T]he annotations are clearly written, succinctly descriptive
of the original work's research with test groups, and evaluative of
research results. Reference Books Bulletin This bibliography focuses
on research and scholarly works relating to violence and terror.
Consisting primarily of articles published in scholarly journals and
books, this comprehensive work examines major topics such as violence
and mass media content, violence and mass media effects, terrorism and
the mass media, and pornography. Also included are articles from
popular journals, reports published by the United States and other
governments, conference papers, and dissertations. Each entry consists
of the bibliographic citation and a short abstract; many of the
sources include studies from other countries where relevant research
has been conducted. The compilers' introduction provides a clear
definition of violence and terrorism as they are dealt with in this
volume and offers an interesting overview of various aspects of the
subject.
