Residents have been urged by police in northwest London to play classical music to deter crime, following a string of drug-related incidents in St John's Wood.
One resident criticized the police's approach, stating that the idea of playing classical music to address increasing crime levels was absurd given the serious nature of recent threats.
The Met Police confirmed that while the advice given was meant to be helpful, it did not represent their official policy regarding crime deterrence.
Studies indicate that classical music can effectively reduce crime in public spaces, as evidenced by its implementation in various transport networks and businesses.
