In an article about media violence on society it states that extensive TV viewing among adolescents and young adults is associated with subsequent aggressive acts.[35] Programs that portray violent acts can change an adolescent's view on violence and this may lead them to develop aggressive behavior. These shows usually portray a person who commits a crime or resorts to violence. They also show that these people go unpunished for their crime, creating the notion that crime is something a person can get away with.
