Although the use of music for extramusical purposes has been a part
of American culture for some time, the phenomenon remained largely
unknown to the general public until revelations became widespread
of startling military practices during the second Iraq War. In
Music in American Crime Prevention and Punishment, Lily E. Hirsch
explores the related terrain at the intersection of music and law,
demonstrating the ways in which music has become a tool of law
enforcement and justice through: police and community leaders' use
of classical music in crime deterrence and punishment; the use of
rap lyrics as prosecutorial evidence; allegations of music as
incitement to violence; and the role of music in U.S. prisons and
in detention centers in Guantanamo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. In the
course of her study, Hirsch asks several questions: How does the
law treat music? When and why does music participate in the law?
How does music influence the legal process? How does the legal
process influence music? And how do these appropriations affect the
Romantic ideals underlying our view of music?
