    Kid Stuff: Marketing Sex and Violence to America's Children

     
    Sex and violence marketing: free speech or threat to children?
    12/8/2003
    Who not to market to is becoming as big a topic as who to target. Notice the recent onslaught of books looking at advertising to children. It's one thing to pitch music and clothes to kids, quite another to market sex and violence. Kid Stuff joins the debate with this collection of essays by scholars from a variety of disciplines including education, communications, journalism, and sociology. The essays explore the social and psychological effects of children exposed to a constant barrage of sex and violence on TV, films, video games, and music. It's a good read for business leaders who will become more involved in this discussion over the next few years. Ravitch, a research professor at New York University, holds the Brown Chair in Education Policy at the Brookings Institution.
