What the petition asks
This would work like age ratings for films and video games, and would help to protect children and young people by banning the sale of explicit music, including music featuring violent lyrics or lyrics which refer to gang activity or drug abuse, to under-18s.
The Government should take this step in order to help tackle knife and gun crime, which is glamorised my some explicit music.
