When videos first came in, you could get hold of any kind of porn in Britain, then a law was passed than effectively banned anything except the softest porn, and also effectively banned violent action films and violent horror films (Texas Chainsaw Massacre type films). Rape and violent crime shot up in Britain after that. It dropped a bit when the Internet became more widely used in the 90's and dropped a bit more when film censorship got less strict, but we are still left with a much more violent society (parts of Britain have the highest violent crime rate in Western Europe). And this from a county where a fatal shooting used to be a major headline, because fatal shootings used to be almost as rare as rocking horse shit!
