"Voices" looks at some of the issues that are most relevant to teenagers today. The series aims to stimulate debate and discussion with a minimum of text and strong illustrations. A key feature is the use of primary-source quotes throughout to explain different viewpoints and to give a global perspective. "Violence on the Screen" deals with an issue that has sparked furious debate. It explores subjects such as: the pros and cons of depicting violent acts on screen; whether violence on the screen leads to real-life violent crime; and censorship versus the right to freedom of expression.
