Exposure to violence in media, including television, movies, music, and video games, represents a significant risk to the health of children and adolescents. Extensive research evidence indicates that media violence can contribute to aggressive behavior, desensitization to violence, nightmares, and fear of being harmed. Pediatricians should assess their patients' level of media exposure and intervene on mediarelated health risks. Pediatricians and other child health care providers can advocate for a safer media environment for children by encouraging media literacy, more thoughtful and proactive use of media by children and their parents, more responsible portrayal of violence by media producers, and more useful and effective media ratings. Office counseling has been shown to be effective. Pediatrics 2009;124: 1495-1503 INTRODUCTIONAlthough shootings in schools around the world periodically prompt politicians and the general public to focus their attention on the influence of media violence, the medical community has been concerned with this issue since the 1950s. 1-3 The evidence is now clear and convincing: media violence is 1 of the causal factors of real-life violence and aggression. Therefore, pediatricians and parents need to take action. 4 In 1972, the US Surgeon General issued a special report on the public health effects of media violence that was based on a growing and nearly unanimous body of evidence. 5 Ten years later, the National Institute of Mental Health issued a comprehensive review of the research on media violence and its effects, which outlined concerns about children's psychological health. 6 At a Congressional public health summit in July 2000, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) was joined by the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and the American Psychological Association in issuing an unprecedented joint statement on the impact of entertainment violence on children. 7 Also in 2000, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released a report on shootings in schools that stated that media violence is a risk factor. 8 In 2003, a panel of media-violence experts convened by the National Institute of Mental Health, at the request of the US Surgeon General, published its comprehensive report on the effects of media violence on youth, which revealed media violence to be a significant causal factor in aggression and violence. 9 Most recently, in 2007, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released its report on violent television programming and its effects on children and agreed with the Surgeon General that there is "strong evidence" that exposure to media violence can increase aggressive behavior in

“…Vereinzelt wurden dazu sogar Dritte hinzugezogen (O'Toole, 1999). Auch alle von Verlinden et al (2000) analysierten School Shooter hatten im Vorfeld einen detaillierten Plan entwickelt und die Taten entsprechend organisiert, so dass die späteren Handlungen mit vorangehenden Drohungen übereinstimmten (so auch Moore et al, 2003).…”

“…Das wichtigste Warnsignal, das im Verhalten der potentiellen Täter beobachtbar und somit ein zentraler Ansatzpunkt für frühzeitige Identifikationsmöglichkeiten sowie präventive Maß-nahmen ist, ist ein Phänomen, das als "Leaking", seltener auch "Leakage" oder "warning leaks" bezeichnet wird (O'Toole, 1999;Twemlow, Fonagy, Sacco & Vernberg, 2002b).
