Graffitti

Graffitti is often assossiated with teenagers in socially deprived urban areas.The reason the indviduals give for this poinless act is boredom.It can rabge from permanenrt marker on post boxes and spray paint on walls.It can make areas look run down and untidy.
In contrast there are some professional graffitti artists.They use spray paint as tools to create their art work. There is a differenc ebetween the two but anything that defaces public or private property is a deiviant and in some cases illegal act. There are however some designated areas provided by local councils sprecifically for graffitti.
