<span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(192, 80, 77); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'"> Well, nothing against teens or anything but a lot of the people who tag and do graffiti are teenagers. Most are influenced by peer pressure or they are dared to do it. Also they may do it to get into a specific group or "posse" or because they think it's "cool" <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(192, 80, 77); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'"> They do that to show turf, like a cat when it marks its territory, they also do it by throwing shoes on the pole lines, its to show that someone lives on that street that is involved.

The also do the same with color, green, red, blue an so on. Kids may be kids, but it leads to more dangerous thing.

ANSWER # 2 How can we prevent Graffiti?

The following are measures you can take to help prevent graffiti appearing on your property: Put trellis or climbing plants on walls to create an uneven surface. This deters vandals as graffiti will not be clearly visible. Try to use paint with muted tones i.e. brick red, brown or grey. Vandals are less likely to deface property with these colours as the graffiti will not stand out. Use good quality polyurethane gloss paint as it is th  <span style="color: rgb(248, 181, 32)"><span style="color: rgb(237, 206, 80)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">e easiest to clean. Make sure your property has good security measures to prevent access for graffiti vandals e.g. night-lights, CCTV, locks and fences. The quicker and more often graffiti is removed the less likely vandals are to strike again. If you find graffiti on your property, report it to the Thames Valley Police on their non emergency number - 0845 8 505 505, as it is criminal damage and the Police will use the information to help in the fight against crime.Graffiti that is left intact attracts more graffiti – and the longer it remains, the greater the gratification for perpetrators. It also suggests a community that does not care or is unable to deal with the problem. <span style="color: rgb(192, 80, 77)"> ANSWER # 3 How can we help people break the habit of Graffiti? Step 1 Determine who is doing the "tagging." Taggers divide into two groups: gang-affiliated taggers who mark their gang’s territory and freelance taggers who express their creativity on a public scale. If your graffiti artists are freelancers, go to the next step. Step 2Approach the freelance taggers and ask if you can talk with them. If they agree, ask about their motivations and what they hope to gain by writing graffiti in public places. You will have to do this late at night, since this is when taggers usually do their thing. Step 3Ask your alderman or city council representative to designate a zone where taggers can express their creativity. Explain to them that taggers are going to tag despite the law and it behooves everyone to provide channels where they can express themselves without breaking the law. Step 4If the authorities agree with your proposal, print and post fliers in places where taggers will find them. Describe how the project needs their skills and input and note that spray paint and other materials will be provided. Make it an attractive option for them. Step 5 <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">5   Organize the project yourself. Even if city officials are receptive to the idea, they probably won't have time to administrate it. Be prepared to take on the responsibilities of organizing and implementing the project. Step 6 <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">6   Talk to the freelance taggers again and explain the project further. Tailor your message to appeal to their sensibilities by explaining that their work will still be seen by a wider audience and this time it will be sanctioned and supported rather than rejected by the community. Taggers have their own network and if you are able to sway a few of them, your program may gain traction and credibility. Step7 <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">7   Write a press release explaining the program to the public. Describe the goals and scope of the project and contact the news media in your area to spread the message. Ask the public for their input on additional locations for the program.

ANSWER # 4.Would building special parks where people can tag be a better alternative? WHY?

media type="custom" key="2046778" width="88" height="66" Building special parks where people have a right to do graffiti is definately a better alternative, mainly because those that have been tagging for years are unlikely to stop if someone tells them to. Thus, if we allow tagging in some areas only, we are coming to a compromise with taggers - the compromise being that they are allowed to tag if they do it only in some places. Plus, to some tagging is a form of art, and by allowing them to tag in some places, we are allowing them to release their creative instincts and making tagging something to be appreciated rather than a nuisance. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="color: rgb(237, 206, 80); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="color: rgb(77, 163, 10)">//"Some alley ways look a little boring with only green, cream and brown so it would be cool if we could have some Graffiti MURALS put up."// GRACE (THE LADY FROM THE MANUKAU BEAUTIFICATION SCHEME)

media type="custom" key="2046780" width="81" height="70" We should consider a jail sentence for people caught in the act of tagging, because tagging is a serious offence and should be dealt with seriously. A tagger is purposely destrying someone else's property - something which they do not have any right to do. Yet, tagging in New Zealand is not thought of as a criminal act as such. And tagging results in so many dollars worth of damage and frustration on the part of the public, who have to spend their money cleaning a mess that they had never created. Thus, tagging should be looked upon as a more serious offence.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">ANSWER # 7 How does Graffiti effect our community? Graffiti is not solely a police problem. The police role should be one of support and assistance. Effective responses to graffiti may combine management practices, design and maintenance, and involve the general public, individual victims, criminal justice officials such as prosecutors and judges, and others. Responses to graffiti should be comprehensive and coordinated, while costs and available resources should be carefully evaluated. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Graffiti is more than just words or symbols sprayed. Graffiti is an act of vandalism that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to remove or cover every year. Every dollar spent on graffiti removal is a dollar that could be used on other badly needed programs. Areas filled with graffiti are less appealing to those who may be looking to buy or rent property. Property becomes more difficult to sell and values are reduced. If not immediately removed, graffiti sends out a message that "nobody cares" about the area. It also causes the area to look unsafe and makes people concerned about their personal safety. This creates an open invitation for more littering, loitering and other graffiti. Unfortunately, it may also lead to an increase in other crimes and/or acts of violence. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="color: rgb(237, 206, 80)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">media type="custom" key="2070384" <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">media type="custom" key="2128535" <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">media type="custom" key="2140443" My Reflection: Hi I am the Graffiti Buster and welcome to my wiki space. For our citizen project our main question was “HOW CAN I MAKE A POSITIVE DIFERENCE TO THE COMMUNITY I LIVE IN?” so at first I was going to help out sick children at Starship hospital with my friend Grace but unfortunately She had to go to Nelson unexpectedly and I couldn’t handle the project on my own. So I chose to do Graffiti. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> I chose Graffiti because I was really concerned about Graffiti in this community as it was going way too far. People tag for absolutely no reason; and MY mum and dad, YOUR mum and dad, or EVEN **//__YOU__//** have to pay for the damage through taxes and I think that is totally unacceptable. Why do WE have to pay for others crimes?? And if we could stop tagging think about how much money the community could save. **//__THIS__//** is why **//__I__//** was determined to do something about this vandalism. I had to change my project to something where someone could take me along so I decided to go with the Graffiti Girls. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> So on Wednesday 24th September 2008 we all set out to Ti Rakau Park to paint over the TACKY graffiti. We were all really excited to get half a day off school and ALSO be able to make a difference in the community. Trevor and Grace (THE PEOPLE FROM THE MANUKAU BEAUTIFICATION SCHEME) lead us to the park providing us with all the equipment. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> Even though what I did that day may not have affected the whole world I still felt like telling the whole world of my AWESOME achievement. I was really proud of myself and I felt of myself and I felt like I had REALLY cared for the community. We (the graffiti girls and I) all came back to school smiling from ear to ear proud of ourselves. I think we all worked hard and had done our best as you can see in the slideshow above. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> It was really fun sharing our lunches and riding in Mr. Ashley’s (Rebecca’s van). Thank you to the Graffiti Girls who took me along. This project it was as hard as it was fun and I got through it throughout thick and thin, and I'm not exaggerating here. One day as I was doing my work all of it got deleted. Not even one full stop remained. I got really frustrated because I had to go back to history and I still lost one hour of work. By going to history I also lost all my widgets which was also frustrating not only for me but for my starship partner as well. I wanted to keep the Starship project on my page and she had made an awesome slideshow which got deleted!! I have from this project to learn to save every 5 minutes so that I don't lose that much work. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> So anyway, next time if I am to do this project again I would design posters to show my concern for the street vandalism. Thank you for taking the time to view my wiki space and listen to my reflection. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> BY-eeeee media type="custom" key="2239547"  <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="color: rgb(245, 91, 15)">My Peer Reflection:

The voki and the readthewords.com thing were great widgets for your page. Next time i recommend you could do more things to stop the graffiti problems in our community.

We also asked them if i would be ok if we just entertained them not help out in the medical stuff and the lady (sara) said it would be better if we went to an organisation called 'RADIO LOLLIPOP'.Radio lollipop is an organisation (radio station) that entertains the children.

Then at school at about 8:35 in the morning Rebecca came along with her dad who was our parent helper. He bought along his huge nine seater van so we had ample space to fit into. We waited at school for about 5-10 minutes longer because the people from the Manukau Beautification Scheme were a little late. As soon as they came Aimee shared out her Fruitbursts and off we went ready to paint over the Graffiti.

After about 10 to 15 of driving we were there at the Ti Rakau Park where we could paint over the Graffitti. At first I thought we would never be able to paint over all the graffiti within our time schedule as there was just so much Graffiti. As soon as we got out of Mr. Ashley's van we waited beside the Manukau Beautification scheme van as they un packed all the painting tools.

After Grace (THE LADY OVER THERE) took some photos with her high-tech camera we got to work. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">After about 3 quaters of an hour we had finished painting the bold paint over the tacky graffiti. So we walked to another place about 400-500 meters away and started painting over there.

By now it was about 10:50, my hypothesis was proved wrong when we worked together we could get the job done quite quickly.

We got back to school at around about 12, give or take 15 minutes. That was what I would like to call off as a day. It was really fun. It is soo hard to believe that 12 hours ago I couldn't wait for our exciting trip to START!!! || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="color: rgb(143, 30, 230); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">    <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">Daily Group reflection (Write what progress you've made and how things are going)  **   = <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 193, 0)">Date and reflection: || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> || || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 216, 0)">**19/9**
