 In April 1994 , Professor Elizabeth Newson published Video Violence and the Protection of Children ( the " Newson Report " ) which attracted huge media interest due to its claims that it had " definitively established the long sought @-@ for link between screen violence and the real @-@ life variety , " and which cited the Capper murder as an example . Despite its support by the press , however , the report failed to demonstrate any definitive link , " merely drawing inferences from ... often highly speculative accounts in the press rather than independent first @-@ hand research . " Newson was called to give oral evidence to the House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee on Video Violence , where she asserted : " The Suzanne Capper case is another example of very explicit imitation of video and the use of video and that was Child 's Play 3 . " The chairman of the committee , Sir Ivan Lawrence had to point out to Newson that this was incorrect , and that both the police and the British Board of Film Classification had ruled out any connection between the movie and the murder .
