Graffiti is noticed as a destructive form of art which defaces personal property. Graffiti artists use the canvas of the streets to speak a message with free of charge admission. "They say graffiti frightens people and is symbolic of the decline of society, but graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people politicians, advertising executives and graffiti writers"-Banksy
Criminologists James Q Wilson and George Kelling developed a theroy of criminal behavior in the 1980's that became known as 'Broken Window Theroy'. They argued crime was the inevitable result of disorder and that if a window in a building is smashed but not repaired people will walk by thinking no one cares. Then more windows will become broken, graffiti will appear and rubbish will get dumped. The likelihood of serious crime being committed then increases dramatically as neglect becomes visible.
"When the time comes to leave, just walk away quietly and dont make any fuss" -Banksy
