[[File:i.png|25px|right|This is a help page for the SecuRbAn risk assessment tool]]The '''protection level against [[graffiti]]''' question in Securban concerns the measure types
* [[Measure: Directing traffic flows|Directing traffic flows]] to separate potential offenders from vulnerable groups and/or locations less controlled or controllable.
* [[Measure: Target removal|Target removal]] by removing circumstances that make people vulnerable, or designing out for vulnerable groups.
* [[Measure: Controlling disinhibitors|Controlling disinhibitors]] such as alcohol to decrease the problem.
* [[Measure: Access control|Access control]] possibly combined with [[Measure: Screening|Screening]] where possible and ethical, to prevent unauthorised access of potential or known offenders.

The score is divided into three categories in Securban:
# Neither of the measure types are taken to prevent graffiti.
# One of the measure types is taken to prevent graffiti.
# More than one of the measure types are taken to prevent graffiti.
As these categories are not exhaustive, and many intermediate protection levels exist, in answering the question, one will have to choose the level that comes closest to the actual level.

All other measure types against [[security issue: graffiti#Measures|graffiti]] (such as surveillance) are covered in other answers in Securban and should not be considered in answering this question.

 * [[Measure: Target hardening|Target hardening]] by for example impregnating walls with paint-resistant coatings or making particularly attractive walls hard to reach can greatly increase the effort needed to vandalise the object and thereby reduce the attractiveness of an object.
-* [[measure: Surveillance|Surveillance]] can be effective to detect crime and if overt, to deter potential criminals by raising the perceived risk of apprehension. It can incur high costs if implemented as dedicated observers, either on location or remote. A more natural form of surveillance is surveillance by the inhabitants (also known as 'natural surveillance'), which can also be effective, provided that the commercial area is inhabited and the inhabitants have a good surveillability.
-* [[Measure: Intervention force|Intervention force]] is needed to make detection measures, such as alarms or surveillance, effective.
 * [[Measure: Directing traffic flows|Directing traffic flows]] to reduce the chance for potential graffiti artists to approach vulnerable areas, reducing the visibility of potential targets to criminals.
 * [[Measure: Target removal|Target removal]] by removing the attractive elements of particularly vulnerable objects from high-risk locations.
-* [[Measure: Ownership|Ownership]] by providing a clear distinction between public and private property. This faciltates detection of unwanted entry and increases the inhibitions to commit crime.
-* [[Measure: Maintenance|Maintenance]] and designing for easy maintenance facilitates consistent and quick removal of graffiti which will discourage repeat offenders.
 * [[Measure: Deflection| Deflection]] by providing a legal place to perform graffiti.
