to much graffiti in hamilton!

im doing one of my hamiltON project on graffiti. I think there is to much in hamilton. here is something I did about graffiti.
GRAFFITI:
where do people graffiti?
-on playgrounds
-on the environment
-down alleyways, in between shops
-skate board parks
-in car parks
-on gates and fences of other peoples houses
-on trains and other ways of transport
- at bus stops where people have to wait

Why do people graffiti?
-they think its cool and that they will be popular if they do it
-to mark their territory that they think is their own
-because they are angry at someone
-they think that they aren't being treated fairly
-they think they can just get away with it
If you graffiti, what are the good sides to it?
-if you get caught you could get on tv
-people would make a big fuss over you
-if you got away you would feel proud for not being caught and want to do it again
-if the cops asked you why you did it you could have a fair chance to stand up for yourself and say why you graffited
How does it affect people who dont graffiti?
-kids like to play on playgrounds and evben though little kids cant see what it says but some graffeti has pictures and big kids can read so they might see rude swear words and other rude writing.
How could we fix or prevent graffiti?
-we could have more clean up graffiti days like we have had recently
-have a place where people are allowed to do sensible graffeti. a big wall or something
-sell water based spray cans that come off in the rain.
there is a new type of tagging and people get scissors and scratch in shop windows which costs heaps to replace.
my group is going to visit places where there is loots of graffiti like the skateboard park next to farfield primary and intermediate.
ham west school playground
we are going to take pictures of all the graffiti and talk to a hamilton city councillor to see if there is anything else we could do to STOP people doing graffiti.

I think you are refering to tagging rather than graffiti. Graffiti is the art and legal form of tagging while tagging is wrting or marking privite or public property illegelly.
