选择题

Graffiti painting is traditionally a daredevil pursuit. Teenagers dodge security guards to put

their names on trains and buses. But over the past decade, graffiti has all but disappeared from

Britain's cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by the British

Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the Environment Ministry shows that fewer places are

blighted

by

tags

than

ever.

Graffiti

are

increasingly

confined

to

sanctioned

walls,

such

as

the

Stockwell ball courts. In time the practice may die out entirely.

The

most

obvious

reason

for

the

decline

in

tagging

and

train-painting

is

better

policing.

Numerous CCTV cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishments

are more severe. A generational shift is apparent, too. Fewer teenagers are getting into painting

walls. They prefer to play with iPads and video games. Some have gone to art school and want to

make money from their paintings. The Internet means that painters can win far more attention by

posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard.

Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. Those men

—

and almost

all are men

are now older and less willing to take risks. Graffiti may eventually disappear. But

for now the hobby is almost respectable. The former graffiti artists paint abandoned warehouses

at

the

weekend.

It

has

become

something

to

do

on

a

Sunday

afternoon

—

a

slightly

healthier

alternative to sitting and watching football.
