Does music motivate individuals to commit crime?

Question

Wether it be rap music or heavy metal, the lyrical content usually has instructions on how to make certain drugs or gives reference to the most popular choices of weapons and even stories of how to carry out criminal activity.

Answer 1

no - it's the choices made by people that motivate all that they do! the music doesn't hold a gun to their head and say you must commit crime

Answer 2

I believe it does.I think when people deny it its an excuse to listen to it.Thats why alot of people won't listen to anything but gospil.Its possitive and gratifies God.

Answer 3

Every time I hear rap music, I go out and rob a bank or murder someone.

The rest of the time I'm as mild-mannered as Clark Kent.

Answer 4

No sure, but some metal/rap music will affect ppl`s psyches, that`s for sure.

Answer 5

No its the weak minded individual that allows any stimuli to motivate them to sin.

Answer 6

No, it's never that simple. Never.
