Less murder on television and in movies

At the moment Cops shows seem to dominate TV schedules and crime is a big part of the movie World.

If that proportion were much lower

1) Would there be smaller TV audiences?

2) Would there be less fear of crime?

3) Would it have any effect on crime itself?

4) What might the choice of popular entertainment be?
 
1) I don't think so. If they just remove all the gory stuff off, I bet they'd resort to watching something equally gory, like nature shows.

2) I, for one, think that they'll be more fear of crime. Because the audience are not used to seeing such stuff.

3) Err, hard to say without real-world surveys!

4) Same as Berra. Sex and porn. Add in a dash of reality shows.
