Unfortunately Yes. The writers and producers need to realize that such content will not have a negative impact upon the mature adult audiences but for the more vulnerable audiences who do not have the understanding, experience or exposure to make sense of it, such content prove to be highly volatile.
What might be even worse is that even good boys or main heroes usually dont bother with law, for instance court order to put somebody in the jail. Nice example might be "Dexter" for instance.
I agree that the focus is on heroes and people breaking the law, its like making law breakers the new IN thing... its a very serious issue as we are distorting the normality and basic values of the society.
