Description: Text above reads 'Sound system music aims to curb bad behaviour in Garden Place... News'. The cartoon shows a crowd of people behaving badly; one of them says 'Say - isn't that Beethoven's Symphony No 9 in D major? Context - Hamilton City Council this week installed a $27,000 sound system in the public space with the chief purpose of discouraging anti-social behaviour in the area by playing music loiterers don't like. Arts Waikato communications co-ordinator Nick Johnston said that while he supported the investment in a sound system, using music as a "weapon" was not the solution as anti-social behaviour will simply move somewhere else. Exposure to music, art, and culture could serve as a more positive deterrent for troublemakers. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
