"We need to apply the same principle to random racist or anti-Semitic graffiti. If we mostly ignore it, and paint over it, the racist or hoaxer doesn’t get the satisfaction of our reaction. They don’t see us march through the streets or write hand-wringing Op-Eds about what is going wrong with our society. We take away the satisfaction of the crime."

In Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, business owners were upset when their building was tagged with gang graffiti.  After it was cleaned by the city graffiti removal crew, the gangs tagged it a second time.  Between graffiti shadow and much of original paint marred by the repeated graffiti removal attempts, the owners decided to take matters into their own hands for how to stop the tagging and to beautify the commercial corridor.  They decided to paint a giant black and white head shot of Dolly Parton with the assistance of a projector that allowed them to trace the iconic image.  The result has been widely celebrated in the neighborhood and has ended the gang graffiti at that location.

San Antonio Police and local community watch groups use systematic approach to  graffiti to combat crime.  A model for community based anti-graffiti and anti-crime efforts, the San Antonio method uses data and mapping to better police the community.  Gang graffiti is a communication used by gangs to claim territory.  If graffiti is quickly removed, the gang has a difficult time claiming that territory with the gang and rival gangs.  In areas with ambiguous gang control, crime rates decrease.  Efforts such as this require close working relationship between community and police.  Neighbors must remain vigilant in reporting, or cleaning graffiti as soon as it appears. 

While city graffiti abatement units are best suited to remove large graffiti tags and graffiti tags on brick or concrete walls, community members through Graffiti Action Days, or community members armed with safe, effective graffiti removal kits can easily remove small and medium sized tags.  Tags located on smooth surfaces such as painted surfaces, garbage dumpsters, playgrounds, fences,  and mail boxes are best removed by volunteer community members.  Armed with safe, effective graffiti removal kits, small tags can be cleaned by volunteer community members for less than one dollar per tag.  Cost for city graffiti abatement can cost upwards to $25 or $30 per tag. 

Clean City Pro Green Label Graffiti Remover is a fast, safe effective graffiti remover.  Clean City Pro Green Label Graffiti Remover is ideal to include in community graffiti removal kit.  Graffiti Removal Kit includes Clean City Pro Green Label Graffiti Remover, scouring pad, stiff bristle nylon brush, soy solvent resistant gloves, and goggles.
