Imitable Behaviour

• Classification decisions take into account detailed portrayal of criminal and violent techniques
• Also applies to glamorisation of easily accessible weapons (eg knives)
• Films which portray antisocial behaviours (eg bullying) uncritically are likely to recieve more restrictive classifications
• If, taken as a whole, a film that actively promotes illegal behaviour will be cut or rejected
• Portrayals of potentially dangerous behaviour which children are likely to copy will be cut if a more restrictive classification is inappropriate
