I think it would certainly cut down on crime as a whole, as taggers generally tend to be gang-bangers, or wannabe bangers. Drop a few mid-tag, charge the family for clean up, and the situation would go away on its own

Logansport, Indiana....taggers of my son's business building were identified, convicted, and fined. The monies went to my son to pay for the necessary repainting...He got monthly payments, through the court, until the total amount was paid....the building has remained free of graffiti ever since

I'm surprised they caught anyone. Most graffiti here is done by folks who can disappear into the nether regions and high-tail it back to Mexico if it goes bad.

The only ones they usually catch are the wannabe idiots who brag about it. Otherwise, if it is real gang-bangers, the intimidation factor of reporting them is very high. They got nasty folks here in the Albuquerque metro area.
