"...this provacative, naturalistic study by a multidisciplinary
trio of British scholars seriously challenges the prevailing
American dogma....Broadcast Television offers compelling
documentation for this conditional percept that has the potential
to mitigate television's culpability by arguing that the atmosphere
of an uncoordinated neighborhood watch on the island tempered the
lure to indulge in antisocial acts."
