Theme

• Classification decisions will take into account the theme of a work, but will depend significantly on the treatment of that theme, and especially the sensitivty of its presentation.
• Most problematic themes include:

Drug abuse
Sexual Violence
Paedophilia
Inticement to racial hatred or violence

And these are unlikely to be appropriate at the most junior levels of classification.

• There is no reason in principle why most themes, however difficult, could not be presented in a manner which allowed classification at '18' or '15'.
