"Graffiti is NOT A VICTIMLESS CRIME."
It is the most common type of property vandalism, 35% according to Bureau of Justice Statistics.
Graffiti hurts everyone and can destroy a neighborhood. When an area is hit again and again by graffiti, citizens feel the area is not safe and it serves as a welcome mat to more serious crime. In order to defeat the vandals, and keep our neighborhoods safe, we all have to continually be on top of the problem!
