Children’s cartoons contain the highest concentration of televised violence

Evidence

Violence rates fluctuate somewhat for different networks and program categories, but there is no overall decline in this figure. The patterns of victimization are also quite stable over time. Children’s programming, which consists mainly of cartoon heroes beating up evildoers, has the highest concentration of violent activity. American viewers overdose on gratuitous violence, but much of it is deleted when the shows are exported to other nations. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 800
