Police Spell Out Graffiti Mania Fears
A secret police report has
built up a profile of the typical graffiti vandal. It seems that the average vandal
is usually a male, aged 15 to 19, from poor family.
His “addictive
habit” costs million of pounds every year, according to the report by British
Transport Police anti – graffiti squad. They estimate that more than & 2
million is spent cleaning trains in London alone.
The report
suggests that graffiti is the work of small groups. They are motivated by the
need to get attention by making some form of statement. More than a third of
the vandals who are caught do it again, which suggests that graffiti is
addictive.
The survey of 150
graffiti vandals arrested last year showed that 40 per sent of offenders are
university students or still at school – and 99 per sent are male. Just over 17
per sent are unemployed.
The report says
graffiti is dangerous – four youngsters have been killed while trying to paint
trains in the Underground.
The police have
been visiting schools and writing to parents to try and prevent young people
becoming vandals. They are also using handwriting experts to identify the
“tags” of graffiti artists. In London alone there were over 150 graffiti
arrests last year, but police recognize the vandals will continue unless they
are stopped, because graffiti writing is so addictive.

Task 1. Read the
text and use the sentences (A-H) to complete the gaps. There are two extra
sentences you will not need.
Dogs help people get well.
Joan Gray is a nurse.
Often her patients are people who have now returned home from hospital but are
not ready to go back to work. She also spends a lot of her time visiting people
still in hospital. 1( ).
They look forward to
seeing her, especially because she doesn't go alone. She takes her dog, Bertie,
with her. Joanne says that Bertie makes her patients feel better. Bertie
started going to work with Joanne four years ago and she is sure that he has
made a real difference. " Bertie is brilliant with people", she says.
" For example, he helps patients who cannot use their arms very well. 2( ).
He can also help patients
who are very nervous or depressed. They tell me they feel calmer and happier
when he is with them.
Joanne realized several
years ago how much her patients enjoyed seeing an animal. “I used to have a cat
that I took with me sometimes on my visits. My patients always asked me about
him and all said they loved seeing him. 3( ). It's easier to take a dog to see someone.
Research shows that pets
can reduce stress and help people get better more quickly from all sorts of
illnesses. 4( ). For instance, one man in hospital didn't
want to talk to anyone but he spoke to Bertie. He told him he hated the
hospital food and didn't like the people in the beds next to him. So the
hospital was then able to get him the food he liked. 5( ).
Not all dogs are suitable
for visiting sick people. Some dogs are afraid of people they don't know. 6( ). But
the right dog can help people get better.
Task 2.
A. Joanne can give lots of examples of this.
B. That' why I got Bertie.
C. There are many other dogs like Bertie.
D. They want to touch him and this makes them
try harder to move
their arms.
E. Joanne's visits are very important to all
her patients.
F. Others are too friendly.
G. Of course, not everyone likes dogs.
H. They also arranged to move him to a
different bed.
