Rejected petition Ban music with lyrics which encourage crime

More details

Research suggests that music influences our lives, in such a way that it can encourage youngsters and teenagers to see that crime is a 'cool' thing because the music artist sings about it and explains in songs that crime is a good thing, take for example rap songs. To stop this encouragement of children and teenagers being influenced by this type of music it should be banned.
