Check us out at WikiPlays.org Gun violence is on the rise in US movies and has more than tripled since 1985 in those rated as acceptable for teenagers 13 and older according to a study out Monday. The amount of such violence seen in modern movies rated PG13 even exceeded that in films rated R for adults in 2012 said the findings by American and Dutch university researchers in the US journal Pediatrics. quotWe do not draw a direct causal link to the recent rise in school and other public shootings but the rise in gun violence in films certainly coincides with those eventsquot said coauthor Daniel Romer director of the Adolescent Communication Institute at the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. quotGun violence was defined as shooting a gun and hitting a living targetquot said the study noting that weaponry such as rocketpropelled grenades and artillery were not counted nor were hunting scenes.
