I: Where have you seen this kind of things most, like shouting, hitting somebody and threatening somebody?

Child 52: Well, I wouldn’t say guns and knives at school but I’d say most of it was at school, and knives and guns and stuff in video games.

5.4.3.2 AGE & CONTENT APPROPRIATENESS

Children see aggression in TV programmes, VG and films that are considered appropriate for them. For example, the following target a child audience: televised cartoon series such as The Simpsons, Watch My Chops, Horrid Henry, Power Rangers; TV programmes such as Tracy Beaker and Grange Hill; VG and films that are recommended by rating boards (e.g. the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC)) as suitable for the child’s age group, i.e. have rating symbols e.g. 7+, E - Everyone, U - Universal – Suitable for all.

Some TV programmes are easily accessible to children due to the broadcasting time: programmes before 9pm, everyday programmes, early evening

programmes, soaps such as EastEnders and Coronation Street. Some children watch programmes such as soaps together with parents, others alone or together with siblings

Child 17: They tend to put violent stuff on telly, really violent stuff. The more violent stuff it should be on after 9 o'clock. (Boy aged 10) Child 35: I’ve got a game called Iron Man, I play that because it’s a hero and you get to fly around in the suit and use all the weapons and that’s either a 12+ or a 7+. (Boy aged 12)

Child 52: On, say, Coronation Street people fight with each other. On EastEnders people fight with each other. On The Simpsons it’s really, really funny and he does funny fighting and all of that. (Boy aged 9)

Carer 02: There's one game, I can't remember what's called, it is age appropriate and when I found out that he got it and that he's playing it I was mad. It's basically you steal cars, people get in your way and you would run them over or you stab them. Now that's age appropriate for R.! I can't remember what is called. When I found out

out he got it I went mad at P.'s stepdad, he says “Well, it's age appropriate”. I said I don't care, I do not want him to have it again. And he thought it was OK. You know, steal cars, run people if they get in your way or stab them! That's not age appropriate for a nine year old. And this game was 7+! He played it couple of times and I only saw him playing it once and I said “What are you doing?” and he says “He's in my way so I'm gonna stab him”. So I took it off him. (Mother of boy aged 9)

Carer 11: The amount of programmes that are on the television that have got that sort of thing in them, you know? Coronation Street – he would watch that and I would let him watch it and then there’s the lad David in Coronation Street who’s threatened his mum, so yes, he would see things and I would try to sort of say to him that whatever they’re doing is wrong, but I think it’s hard to stop them seeing anything like that because it’s in so many programmes, you know, The Bill, and they’re all on early in the evening. … It’s in so many things because even in cartoons you see aggression to a certain extent. You know, in the form of a cartoon character. … I would say that it’s in a lot of things and he does watch them, yes. I would class the everyday sort of programmes that are on, there is aggression in those.(Mother of boy aged 12)

Carer 35: EastEnders, and that awful Tracey Beaker programme, you hear how they speak to families, or not families in Tracey Beaker’s case ‘cause she’s orphaned and living in some sort of an orphanage. When you look at how she addresses people and how her aggression comes over, that’s negative.(Mother of boy aged 12)

Children also see aggression in TV programmes, VG and films that are considered inappropriate for them but which target an older CYP and adult audience. Examples include: late night TV programmes (broadcasted around or after 9pm) such as crime dramas (e.g. CSI, Law and Order), Casualty, The Bill, Family Guy; VG and films that are recommended by rating boards as suitable for older children, i.e. have rating symbols of 15+ (suitable only for 15 years and over) and 18+, such as Grand Theft Auto (18+), Final Fight Streetwise (18+), The Punisher (18+).

Age inappropriate shooting games, where you shoot the baddies to win the game, are played more by boys than girls

Child 02: James Bond. Quite a good one. Basically it's a shooting game, it's 12+ but mum allows me to have one game that’s 12+. Basically it's shooting people, you get off if you press, I think it's L1 you could put a little circle on it, if it's green you keep shooting until it's red and it will go black and then they're dead. …We got to shoot them all [the Russians], we have to try survive. (Boy aged 9)

Child 11: I’m going to get Grand Theft Auto 4, well, my brother is if he passes his SATS. We’ll play on that. We were playing it last night at my friend’s house … you can go round shooting people for no reason.

(Boy aged 12)

Child 38: I did have a game called Final Fight Streetwise. I’ve got
