 Cause for Concern consists  substantially of camcorder footage of homeless people (bums) being  abused, assaulted, and humiliated. These scenes are intercut with  footage of street brawls and soft pornography. Under the Video  Recordings Act 1984 the Board must have special regard to any harm  to those likely to view a video and to any harm to society through  the behaviour of those viewers afterwards. The Act singles out  particular elements as being potentially harmful including criminal  behaviour and violent behaviour or incidents. The BBFC guidelines  for 18 rated works state that the Board may "cut or reject... any  detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts which is likely to  promote the activity" (page 16). The Boards guidelines for violence  also state as particular concerns "callousness towards victims,  encouraging aggressive attitudes[and] taking pleasure in pain and  humiliation" (page 9). In the Boards view, the video breaches these  guidelines by exploiting the physical and other vulnerabilities of  homeless people. The Board considered the possibility of cuts.  However, given the extent of the unacceptable material, cuts were  not considered a viable option on this occasion.
