This is an interesting approach to fighting crime... Playing a drug dealer's least favorite music where drug deals typically go down. It sounds a little crazy, BUT, I think music actually can have a dramatic affect on people's behaviour. A couple of examples. Many stores will play slowed-down music to keep people in their store longer, increasing the likelihood of a greater number of purchases. And, I've been on hold with tech support before, with the most obnoxious horrendous music blaring, and I'm sure their hang-up rate is higher than if they played pleasant music; they don't want to take more calls.
So, if playing Bach and Beethoven repels drug dealers, I won't be terribly surprised.
