Forensic and criminal psychologists should exercise great caution before assuming that the media plays a role in generating violent criminality. Which of the following would support this caution?

A. The media give a similar message about violence as do other sources of socialization. Indeed, the media give messages about when it is appropriate to use violence and when it is not
B. Young violent offenders prefer violent videos compared to controls but they also tend to have been abused by their parents. When this factor is taken into account their media consumption is not different from controls
C. Violent crime statistics in the states show a delayed effect as result of the introduction of violent television but this claim is not supported in Great Britain
D. All of the above

Which of the following is correct?

A. Rapists should be primarily of reproductive age. This is some evidence to support this hypothesis. It would support the evolutionary theory
B. Societal trends towards sexual egalitarianism should be associated with few rapes. This hypothesis has some evidence in support, e.g. Baron and Straus. This would support feminist theory
C. Rapists should hold attitudes that are more favorable towards rape and towards violence than other men. This would support social- learning theory. But this hypothesis is not clearly supported, e.g. Oberholser and Beck
D. All of them are correct
