1.2 Statement of the problem
Undoubtedly, social scientists who are
interested in the study of mass media particularly film effects have
been involved in the efforts to find out the relationship 3
between
media and anti-social behaviour like crime, violence, sexual behaviour
perversion, abuse and rape. There has been series of research works
which show that audio-visual media can be described as an all powerful,
all pervasive and all manipulative medium capable of producing the most
effective emotional reaction through the portrayal of pornography,
violence and other immoral acts.
This project is geared towards
ascertaining if sexual crimes, perversion and abuse among the youths
could be attributed to their exposure to pornographic films. Therefore,
in which way can the viewing of pornographic materials be stopped?
