The benefits of reporting graffiti

• Most graffiti is in the form of tags, which can
  be used as a means of identifying the graffiti
  artist. But if you report and photograph these
  tags, the pictures can be used as evidence
  against the tagger in the event they are arrested
  and tried in court.
• Reporting graffiti enables the police to gather
  information and to classify a particular area as
  a hotspot. This means the police can monitor and
  increase patrols in that particular area.
• Also, if an area has become a particular hotspot
  the council may consider planting trees or
• other vegetation. This makes graffiti-prone walls
  more difficult to access and less attractive to
  offenders.
• Alternatively, if its not possible to plant
  trees the council may consider anti-graffiti
  coatings
• for graffiti-prone walls to make it easier to
  remove the graffiti.
• Meanwhile, the council can offer support for
  community groups interested in addressing
  graffiti, including adopt-a-space and
  care-for-an-area projects.
