GLEANER: Despite strong public sentiment that dancehall music fuels criminal behaviour in Jamaica, an Anglican priest and human-rights advocate is insistent that proponents of that view are scapegoating the popular genre.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Father Sean Major-Campbell has described that perspective as misleading, arguing that blaming dancehall music for crime is a \u201ccourse in obfuscation that leaves us with an anecdotal diagnosis of the problem\u201d.<\/p>\n

His views come against the background of an RJRGLEANER Group-commissioned poll showing that 41 per cent of respondents believe that dancehall music played a very big role in influencing criminal behaviour.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Thirty per cent of persons polled said dancehall had \u2018somewhat\u2019 of an impact; 11 per cent only a little; while 11 per cent said not at all.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Seven per cent of respondents were not sure.<\/p>\n

Based on the results, the Don Anderson poll suggested that cumulatively, 82 per cent of all Jamaicans believe that there is a connection between dancehall music and the incidence of crime.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Fieldwork was done between July 16 and 26, during which 1,113 Jamaicans were interviewed. Anderson said that the dominant views were held primarily by older persons rather than younger ones aged 18 to 24.<\/p>\n

Younger Jamaicans were less convinced that there was a direct connection.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Major-Campbell argues that Jamaica\u2019s history of crime predates dancehall, noting that the country continues to be divided on its manifestations in society. He said that some people even use \u201creligion to bless some forms of domestic violence\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

But Winston \u2018Wee Pow\u2019 Powell, veteran owner of sound system Stone Love, is adamant that the contents of modern dancehall have contributed to crime.<\/p>\n

He argued that some dancehall artistes who rose to stardom assumed the profile of crime bosses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey become dons in their own way, and we all know how dons operate,\u201d Wee Pow said in a\u00a0Gleaner<\/b>\u00a0interview.<\/p>\n

However, dancehall promoter Sean \u2018Contractor\u2019 Edwards argues that music, of itself, is not the driver of crime.<\/p>\n

There are thousands of people who live in inner-city communities who listen to dancehall songs and are not violent, he noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople who listen to Skillibeng\u2019s\u00a0Whap! Whap!<\/b>\u00a0in America and London, they are not going out there and doing any crime. Some of them don\u2019t even know what that\u00a0Whap! Whap!<\/b>\u00a0means. They just like that part of the song,\u201d Edwards said.<\/p>\n

A concerned Prime Minister Andrew Holness has specifically cited\u00a0Whap! Whap!<\/b>\u00a0as a song that has a negative impact on society.<\/p>\n

Edwards theorises that individuals are influenced by peer groups, family, and friends to carry out crime.<\/p>\n

The dancehall promoter said that many artistes using offensive lyrical content are not lawless.<\/p>\n

Elite sports personalities, lawyers, and other professionals who are fans of violence-laden songs listen in order to \u201cenergise themselves\u201d, Edwards said, suggesting that the imagery was figurative.<\/p>\n

Major-Campbell, who pastors Christ Church in Vineyard Town, St Andrew, said that crime is a far more complex problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we are readily repulsed by news of violent crimes, we have not been honest about our poor conflict resolution skills, an ugly history with police brutality, gang violence, and the lagging united political will to address social ills and a challenged justice system,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Reverend Peter Garth, pastor of Hope Gospel Assembly, however, believes that music can be a turbo-charged motivator, emboldening listeners to transform metaphor into reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersons drink, persons become intoxicated, and if you have a desire to do certain things, it will be deepened when you stand up and listen to lyrics that are asking you to retaliate and use guns and all of that. It influences persons,\u201d the clergyman said.<\/p>\n

Garth called entertainer and convicted murder Adidja Palmer, better known as Vybz Kartel, \u201ca genius\u201d but said people with his talent often had sanitised versions of expletive-riddled songs \u2013 proof, he said, that they could toe the line of decency.<\/p>\n

Lecturer at The University of the West Indies, Mona, Professor Donna Hope, took issue with how the poll question \u2013 \u2018To what extent do you feel that dancehall music plays a role in influencing criminal behaviour?\u2019 \u2013 was framed.<\/p>\n

Hope argued that the question helped predetermine the answers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe outcome for this question that is already leading is going to be that more people are going to give a positive response and say \u2018yes\u2019 in various ways,\u201d said Hope.<\/p>\n

The academic said that three of the variables in the poll prompted respondents to say \u2018yes\u2019 to some extent.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo \u2018yes\u2019 very much, \u2018yes\u2019 somewhat, \u2018yes\u2019 only a little, so already the question and the way the responses are structured are going to give you a positive response to this question,\u201d Hope added.<\/p>\n
