Bugün öğrendim ki: müzik, istenmeyen davranışları caydırmak için kullanılır. Florida'da bir şehir, serseriliği caydırmak için "Bebek Köpekbalığı" diye bağırıyor. Kanada'da, 7-11 mağaza, başıboş dolaşmayı caydırmak için klasik müzik çalmaya başladı. İngiliz Donanması, Afrika'nın doğu kıyısındaki korsan gemilerini püskürtmek için Britney Spears isabetlerini kullanarak müziği bile silahlandırdı.
If you were to walk at night along the waterfront in West Palm Beach, Florida, you might hear something strange: A playlist of annoyingly catchy children's songs -- including ["Baby Shark"](/2019/01/15/entertainment/baby -shark-pinkfong-song- trnd/index.html) and ["Raining Tacos"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npjF032TDDQ) \-- blared on loop all night to deter homeless people from sleeping near an event center. The Waterfront Lake Pavilion, a luxury [venue](https://wpb.org/Departments/Waterfront/Lake-Pavillion/Welcome) that can be rented for [$250 to $500 per hour](https://wpb.org/ wpb_website/media/Waterfront/documents/Lake-Pavilion- Rental-Rules-and-Application-revised-072419.pdf) , doesn't want rough sleepers on its patio, so the city's parks and recreation department [devised the sonic deterrent] (/2019/07/17/us/baby-shark-florida-homeless-prevention-park-trnd/index.html) . Kathleen Walter, a spokeswoman for the city, said in a statement that the music is played overnight to discourage "congregating at the building" and to "encourage people to seek safer, more appropriate shelter."
