Abstract
Contemporary concerns over the prevalence of violence on the internet and in films and the impact on young people are not without precedent. In the 1940s and 1950s there was a campaign to eliminate the so-called crime comics, led in Canada by Mrs. Eleanor Gray of Victoria, British Columbia. Based primarily on her own correspondence and documents which she donated to the Provincial Archives of British Columbia in 1978, this paper traces her part in the campaign, which eventually succeeded in persuading parliament to change the Criminal Code of Canada. It also compares the campaign with other social reform movements of the period, and notes the change in public attitude which now views the same comics not as a menace to society but as innovative and important art forms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
