Not all do, but when one considers that they know that they are technically breaking the law, it's not a stretch to say they are doing other criminal acts.

This could apply to virtually all teenagers. I went to highschool with a few very active taggers, all were upper-middle class kids who were into street art and had too much time on their hands. They thought it was "cool". 90% of teenagers are shitty people who think mild vandalism is cool and fun. If you wanna curb this activity then create a city where young people have more places to go and stuff to do instead of a big boomer-centric parking lot.
