Street art or urban crime?
''I'm looking at it from a forensic point of view, not an aesthetic point of view," he said. "Art has got permission, vandalism no permission." (1)
Graffiti is an issue that generates widespread community concern.
There is debate over its place in society, with advocates claiming it is a legitimate art form and detractors seeing it as vandalism. (2)
Ambiguous images straddling the art/crime dichotomy. (3)
There are often mixed messages in the media about graffiti and urban art but essentially the definition between both terms defines one as criminal damage (graffiti) and the other as permission based artwork (urban art). (4)

“Urban art is a style of art that relates to cities and city life. In that way urban art combines street art and graffiti and is often used to summarize all visual art forms arising in urban areas, being inspired by urban architecture or thematizing urban live style.
The notion of 'Urban Art' developed from street art that is primarily concerned with graffiti culture. Urban art represents a broader cross section of artists that as well as covering traditional street artists also covers artists using more traditional media but with a subject matter that deals with contemporary urban culture and political issues.”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_art
“Wild Flowers are not weeds"
Street Art is the modern, urban wildflowers
What's the difference between Graffiti Tagging and Street Art?

2. Street Art adorns the urban landscape, Graffiti Tagging scars it and accelerates urban decay.
3. Street Art stretches your mind, Graffiti Tagging is a slap in your face.
