<strong>Tagging</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Graffiti</strong>: attitudes <strong>and</strong> experiences <strong>of</strong> New Zeal<strong>and</strong>ers<br />
had highly nuanced views such that some forms <strong>of</strong> writing are valued for their artistic content<br />
<strong>and</strong> the risks override the skill required in producing pieces. Only a small minority <strong>of</strong> young<br />
people suggested that v<strong>and</strong>alism <strong>and</strong> criminal damage were primary motivations. Even those<br />
who admitted participating in graffiti <strong>and</strong> v<strong>and</strong>alism maintained that there were areas <strong>and</strong><br />
types <strong>of</strong> property that were not acceptable sites for writing <strong>and</strong> that these should not be<br />
subject to the damage <strong>and</strong> ‘disrespect’ sometimes associated with such activity.<br />
