He appointed a Commission on Pornography, which issued a two-volume report in 1986 that stated that there was a causal link between violent pornography and aggressive behavior toward women. The report broke new ground in its exploration of the problem of child pornography. The report also claimed that nonviolent sexually explicit material contributed to sexual violence, a conclusion challenged by many social scientists at the time, but more recently widely accepted.
