Examine current shows on TV relating to crime and violence.

Television has come a long way since the days of large antennas and black and white sets. Today we have cable and satellite that gives us virtually any type of program we want at any time of the day. With this type of programming, one would wonder as to what type of influence it has on shaping the lives of America’s youth.

Violence and suspense are a mainstay for much of the programming on TV today. Examine current shows on TV relating to crime and violence. Make a list of at least three programs that seem to stand out more than others when it comes to violence. Select one of those three and write a 1-2 page paper on how that particular program might influence youth in either a good or bad way. Remember to use APA formatting.
