The VRA are is classified as a law to follow when films are set to be published. It was introduced in 1984 to ban video nasties and the likes of evil dead, driller killer and cannibal holocaust. the VRA was introduced to support the censorship, and banning of films that we're deemed unessasaryly gory or contain scenes of murder, genecide, rape and suicide. the whole debate of wether video nasties should be banned is to protect children around the age of 10-16, however the VRA is responsible for banning the films rather than making them hard to access for children. In my opinion, the government couldn't give a toss about adults who are exposed to this kind of material, but they can use the banning motivated by protecting children, as a scapegoat to blame for rise in crime rate and mental health. This law was then enforced by the raiding of video shops, when this only diverts the crime from murders to illegal video selling, theft and VHS dealers.
