Main Issues - Imitable Behaviour

Imitable Behaviour is one of the main concerns when it comes to classifying a film, the following have to be taken into account;
- Any detailed portrayal of criminal and violent techniques (glamorisation of easily accessible weapons etc) need to be taken into consideration when classifying a film
- Portrayal of anti-social behaviour (such as bullying) must also be taken into consideration, and if the work takes an uncritical stance on such content, they are more likely to receive a more restrictive classification
- The promotion of illegal behaviour is likely to be cut or rejected
- Portrayals of potentially dangerous behaviour (such as hanging, suicide and self-harm) which children and young people are likely to copy, will be cut if a more restrictive classification is not appropriate
