Music and TV That Glorifies Crime is banned in Jamaica

Jamaica’s broadcasting authority has banned content that “glorifies illegal activity” – such as drug and gun use. The new rules cover TV and radio – including music – and list specific topics that are off-limits.
According to the Guardian, the government has said the ban is meant to cut back on material that โ€œcould give the wrong impression that criminality is an accepted feature of Jamaican culture and societyโ€.
Some Jamaican artists criticised the measure saying it will do little to stop crime and will cut out of the conversation populations affected by heightened gun violence.
