2. Graffiti can be defined as words, shapes, and colours drawn or scratched on surfaces. It is done without permission, and may be designed to create a sense of fear or tension to the public. It can also encourage criminal activities such as rioting. Some of the areas at risk include: streets with high traffic, zones near schools, and around the parks. Abandoned buildings and garage doors are targeted as well. If you own or have leased a building, you should clean graffiti immediately to avoid sending the wrong message to the public. This costs a lot of money and time. 

3. Here are the best options is to prevent graffiti  • Have Proper Lighting In Your Building Graffiti artists are drawn to poorly lit areas. They work during the night to avoid attracting public attention and arrests. • Use Anti-Graffiti Laminate Coatings Various coatings are used to protect the surfaces from graffiti. One of them is the sacrificial coating, which come in form of a spray and are designed to create a barrier on the surface. If graffiti is found, pressure cleaning is done to remove it and the coating. • Landscaping Graffiti is effectively prevented when you have bushes and shrubs with thorns growing near the walls. It will be difficult for the artists to paint the walls effectively.

4. Go For Multi-Coloured Designs Graffiti is always visible when a wall is painted using one colour. You can discourage it by using many and dark colours on the wall. Adding some texture to the paint, for instance, makes it difficult for an artist to exercise their creative prowess. • Install Security Cameras People engaging in vandalism avoid areas with security cameras, since the authorities will identify and arrest them. You should, therefore, invest in a surveillance system. • Organize An Awareness Campaign Some of the people involved in graffiti painting are usually unaware of the costs involved in cleaning it. Find information on the demographic involved in the crime and the relevant laws. By conducting simple surveys and making observations, you will obtain all the data required in your campaigns.
