Who is Doing Graffiti?
Children and Young Adults
Children and young adults become involved in graffiti vandalism for a number of reasons; gang association, peer recognition, lack of artistic and recreational alternatives, the element of danger, and lack of appropriate parental supervision and discipline. People involved in graffiti activity may be drawn to it by the desire to express themselves and fit in with a subculture that has gained a global following. Young hip-hop enthusiasts generate approximately 80% of graffiti in Canada. The average person involved in graffiti activity in Canada is a 16-year-old male who is searching for a sense of identity and self-fulfillment.
