Club Violence 2: Tone it down April 25, 2008

CLUB OWNERS: Maybe it’s the music. Clubs that experience violence problems after closing should instruct DJs to start winding the music down at least a half hour before closing, right before last call, to calm people down before pushing them out the door onto the streets at closing time. See POV of club patron below.
The type of music they play there has much to do with the behavior. There is something about booze (and drugs) mixed with certain types of gangsta music that creates a violent/reckless behavior”. Clubs that do not play that type of music experience less of violence and more toned down behavior.
i’ve been to some club concerts where they turn on all the lights about 30 minutes before the end of the show, so it just looks like a big warehouse party at the end but it was cool and hopefully the presence of light on will encourage people to think twice about their behavior…
