• The purpose of this paper is to scrutinize the findings of research on mass communication and delinquency and to propose some generalizations regarding the influences of mass media on juvenile delinquency. The findings of research indicate that mass communication is not considered to be a sufficient or crucial cause of delinquency. There is, however, few evidence to support the view that the media-depicted crime and violence facilitate delinquency. Heavy exposure to crime and violence programs may be considered to be harmful conditionally. Crime and violence in the media is likely to cause delinquency or precipitate it in those children who have predispositions to be affected. In other words, mass communication ordinarily does not serve as a prime mover toward delinquency but is possible to function as a crucial factor among various factors of delinquency under certain conditions. As for the effects of mass communication on delinquency, the following generalizations are proposed: 1) Mass communication is not the sole cause of delinquency. On the other hand, children can be delinquents without any influence of mass media. 2) Mass communication does not only reinforce the existing behavioral tendencies but changes them. Though predispositions have profound influence on one's delinquency, the previous experience in mass communication is also included in these predispositions. 3) The effects of mass media seem to be small in most eases of delinquency. 4) Crime, violence and sensual scene in the mass media may serve as a prime factor of delinquency under the following conditions: a) children are situated in the conflicting group norms or in the disorganized society. b) children have less complete knowledge from other sources. c) crime and violence depicted in the media are presented as legitimate acts. d) children have greater interest in delinquency or have predispositions toward delinquency though they have not been sufficient factors of delinquency. 5) Mass communication is unlikely to turn well-adjusted children into delinquents. 6) Mass communication does not only function as a force toward the reinforcement of the existing cultural values. It leads to the bounds of public acceptance as well regarding the ilberalization of content. 7) Referring to the social effects of mass communication, delinquency is perceived as originating in part from cultural values reflecting short-run hedonism which are frequently depicted in the mass media. Mass-media seem to serve for diffusing delinquency in the larger community regardless of social strata.
