The Mar. 13, 2009 Music, Criminal Behavior, and Crime Prevention, eloquently hosted by Norman

Their conversation touches on how classical music is viewed

Norman and Dr. Jacqueline Helfgott, Seattle University, author of Criminal Behavior: Theories, Typologies, andCriminal Justice (2008), examine the use of classical music by law enforcement and other cultural institutions as social control, to quell and prevent crime. 

in contemporary culture, how it can be a tool for discouraging criminal activity and  anti-social behavior, as well as its history as a mind-altering experience. 

Professor Helfgott's explanation of the criminology and science behind the various kinds and effects of music attests to the two-edged sword of

music, i.e., its bad use giving rise to criminal behavior, and its good use 

as crime prevention. 

Dr. Jacqueline Helfgott

LOC's Norman Middleton gives accounts of speaking with West Palm Beach law enforcement detectives who acknowledged using classical music to quell drug activity; and its effectiveness.  The West Palm Beach force informed Norman it had recently heard of the practice at a law enforcement seminar. 

​

Norman also reports Tacoma, Washington, which is Dr.  Jacqueline Helfgott's territory, and several other law enforcement and security entities worldwide which have used the technique, attest to its effectiveness. 

 

In 2005 London authorities reported robberies down 33%; metro staff assaults were down 25%, vandalism down by 37%.  Consequentially, London authorities expanded the use of classical music from 3 trains to 35.

Brainwaves are very much related to mental state.  Once

recorded on the brain, forever stored in the subconscious

mind.  A combination of effective spiritual and clinical treatment is an absolute must to override the encoded criminal messages.  Funding is needed for brain research, effective spiritual and clinical treatment.
