It all starts with a little tagging.

Did you know that graffiti vandalism is considered a "gateway crime"? Statistics show that vandals rarely just sticks to graffiti vandalism. They "graduate" to petty theft then go from there.

Assisting in a criminal street gang
Trafficking ID's/Persons
Possession of marijuana
Aggravated assault
Burglary
Criminal damage
Shoplifting
Stolen vehicle
Trespass
Armed Robbery
Underage drinking
Misconduct involving weapons
