1954
concerns about juvenile delinquents delayed classification. Board described the contents as 'a spectacle of unbridled hooliganism'. Repeated attempts to secure classification. Some local authorities overturned the Board's rejection. Riots in English seaside towns were cited as providing justification for the Board's decision.
- BBFC was acting as a censor instead of a classifier.
- era in which the BBFC wanted to be seen as a "protector of public morals".
- BBFC felt that films were the cause of teenage crime - still similar to today, "Harm Test", people are quick to blame films and the media for the behaviour of young people.
