I'm currently reading a book about spree killers, that is people who stride into a building or public place with a gun and start taking pot shots at
any one in the way. There is a section where the author deals with how violence is protrayed within TV entertainment. He took one fictional cop show
set in a real city and compared the death rate per programme to the actual death rate in reality. The fictional cop, in one episode, killed more
people than the whole of the cities real police force did per year.
I think there is a link between the entertainment industries use of iconic glamorous images of violence and the sick, immature people who try to
emulate it.
