Violent videogames are being targeted as part of a new campaign launched by Take A Break magazine after more than 80 per cent of respondents to a reader survey said they should be banned.

The campaign, which is titled Mums' Army, is aimed at putting a stop to anti-social behaviour on the streets of Britain. According to the Take A Break website, "Ordinary people are finding themselves on the frontline, their lives curtailed by feral youths who bully and fight, get drunk, sell drugs and rule by gangs... It's time for the ordinary women of Britain to show a united front."

Take A Break is inviting readers to sign a petition which will be delivered to the Prime Minister in support of the campaign, and is also seeking candidates who would be willing to stand for election.
