Brent,United Kingdom

Brent Council uses a merged module. The prevention model was developed based on insights gained from engaging with young people, graffiti offenders, victims of graffiti vandalism and local residents. The Brent Graffiti Partnership Board decided that stronger investigation and enforcement, combined with diversionary activities, was needed to steer young people away from taking up graffiti vandalism. While there was greater CCTV surveilence within the borough, and prolific ‘taggers’ were fined, the bororough also focused on increasing the uptake of diversionary activities. Activities  included: community public artworks; workshops in street art with ‘draw off’ competitions; parkour (free running); and football sessions. The borough alo introduced a responsive trader scheme which banned the sale of materials to underage people.
