Abstract
The concept of “Regulation” is, and always will be one of the most important issues in the area of public law. This paper aims to develop the most efficient and adaptive regulation model through an examination and comparison of the following three concepts: state regulation, self-regulation, and co-regulation.
The First Chapter explains why “television violence” is the focus of this paper. The Second Chapter defines the concept of regulation and demonstrates the advantages of “co-regulation”. This is achieved by a comparison of various regulation models including “state regulation” and “self-regulation”. The third chapter introduces different illustrative examples of domestic and foreign television rating systems on violent contents. A thorough review is conducted with regard to the above-mentioned rating systems. In addition, this chapter attempts to structure an ideal television rating system from different perspectives — including legal, public-sector, and private-sector perspectives. The Forth Chapter places emphasis on the constitutionality of the following two issues: (i) Inviting private sector as a co-regulator, and (ii) Enforcing a television program rating system. The Fifth Chapter draws conclusion of the subject and envisions the future of regulation from the perspective of “television rating system on violent contents”.
