The Effects Model

sEffects model experiment:
A group of children watched a video where an adult attacked bobo doll,the children were then led into a room with toys which they wern't allowed t touch. After another room with the bobo dolls. 88% of the children imitated the violent behaviour previously sown to them by the adults.

The conclusion that everybody came to was that children imitate violent media content however there are many problems with this experiment.
The effects model is still domnant within the world politicians and some parts of the media : the contributing factors to this are the cases of :

Childs play 3 in the murder of james Bulger - 1993
the game manhunt in the murder of stefan pakeerah -2004
Clockwork orange in the rapes and attacks - 2010
the film 'severance' in the murder of simon everitt - 2009
