Abstract

Today, media violence is probably one of the recurring themes in all national and international forums for debate. It is also one of the most inspiring journalistic and scientific articles in recent times. Psychologists, sociologists, criminologists, pedagogues and communication scientists - in addition to neurobiologists - are some of the researchers who, from their respective scientific fields, try to analyze the causes that provoke violent triggers in our society. However, the investigations that have been carried out so far have not been able to explain in detail this complex human and social phenomenon, nor the psychological, social, economic and biological factors that presumably influence and determine it.
