Censorship Issues

Freedom of expression is considered by many to be a fundamental human right. Few would argue with freedom of the press or an individual’s right to protest, but nor would they question the need for censorship of child pornography or graphic violence. Where should the line be drawn between free speech and the right to protection from offence? This book looks at the debate. The information comes from a wide range of sources and includes government reports and statistics, newspaper articles, features, magazine articles and surveys, literature from lobby groups and charitable organisations.
