Sage Encyclopedia of Media Violence

Encyclopedia of Media Violence, reviewed here in its e-book version but also available in print as a single volume, contains what its title implies: brief, quick look-up, reference-style articles abstracting research in relationships between exposure to media violence and social, intellectual and psychological effects on viewers.
