TELEVISION - March 9, 1993

Anti-Violence Campaign: British Prime Minister John Major has joined the campaign against TV violence. Saying that it contributes to juvenile crimes, Major publicly urged broadcasters to curb their “relentless diet of violence” in the wake of a wave of lawbreaking in his country. Broadcasters and film producers, however, quoted in great numbers by the British media Monday, said they were being made scapegoats by a government reluctant to see a link between rising crime and the deprivation caused by poverty and unemployment.
