Abstract
Youth violence is very serious and needs to be addressed. With the rise of technology and our heavy reliance on technology more youth are being exposed to violent media. This project examined the role of violent media exposure on youth violence and aggression. This project aimed to examine if frequent exposure to violent media and lack of parental supervision and monitoring correlated with behavior problems and aggression in youth. Data for this project derived from study participants who were parents of children between the ages of 4 to 18. Study findings indicate that there was a significant correlation between violent media exposure and youth violence and aggression. A significant correlation was also found between lack of parental monitoring of violent media and youth violence and aggression. Based on data collected, this researcher was able to conclude that frequent exposure to violent media and lack of parental monitoring and supervision can have an impact on youth violence and aggression.
