"Sex-Related Homicide and Death Investigation," a book written by homicide investigator Vernon Geberth, has prompted the president of Morality in Media to embellish on the recent theory that Internet porn is playing an increasing role in violent sexual crimes, stranger rapes than previously seen, and stranger sex murders.
"At a time when some commentators in the media are saying that pornography is widely accepted and harmless, we need to remind ourselves that common sense, anecdotal evidence and social science research all point in the opposite direction," Morality in Media's Robert Peters stated.
"While some in the mainstream press can't seem to say enough about the financial success of hard-core pornographers, the truly important news can be found in the very dark underside of pornography as documented by law enforcement personnel, domestic abuse and rape crisis counselors, psychologists, victims, and others," Peters continued.
Peters went on to say that the defenders of porn are "misleading the public" by saying either that pornography is harmless or by saying that they lack the necessary 'conclusive scientific data' that pornography causes sex crimes to justify suppressing pornography.
Morality in Media recently issued the results of a survey that focused on a large swath of Americans, eighty-two percent of which feel that federal laws against Internet obscenity should be more strongly enforced.
