News: Games play a part in sexualising young audiences report
Videogame consoles should be sold with parental controls switched on in an effort to curb exposure to the sexualisation of young people and violent content, according to a new report published today by the Home Office.
The Sexualisation of Young People Review, by Dr Linda Papadopoulos, was commissioned last year by Jacqui Smith, the then home secretary, as part of the Home Office’s plans to address violence against women and girls.
The report looked at video, music videos, social networks, magazines and other media, and suggested that as well as tighter restrictions to access content, corporations and the reporting media have a duty to act responsibly to reduce young people’s exposure to sexual and violent media.
