People love street art but they hate graffiti. Last week, James Scott-Howarth aka “Stan” of the graffiti crew 70k appeared in court facing 14 charges relating to offences committed over 20 years ago. (“Inside Melbourne’s ’graffiti war‴⁣⁣, 23/5). After fleeing arrest at the time, he had returned to Australia last year, voluntarily notifying police through his lawyer. Like many of his contemporaries involved in similar activities, he pleaded guilty to the charges and silently accepted the judgment of the court, a two-year community corrections order and 300 hours of community service. During the hearing Scott-Howarth was characterised by the magistrate and a police detective as cunning, deceitful and destructive, but they no longer described the person who faced the charges. Like the offences, the language and rhetoric was rooted in a distant past. Opponents of graffiti and street art are quick to count the cost to the public and the community, but seem oblivious to the financial and social benefits that street art has brought to cities and communities all over the world. Graffiti culture has been almost entirely responsible for the presence of street art in the world. The earliest practitioners of modern graffiti from Philadelphia in the 1960s have their work recognised and archived in museums in the US. 70k utilised the tools and methods of graffiti to bring something to the street that straddled the worlds of graffiti and the barely present beginnings of street art. In the absence of any continuing illegal activity, I fail to comprehend why a middle-aged man needed to be subject to a two-year community corrections order for something he did 20 years ago. The comments made about him in the hearing seemed harsh and rooted in a view of crime and punishment closer to the world created by Victor Hugo in Les Miserables than the present. Roger Hyland, Richmond

Reading academic Chris Parkinson wax lyrical (“Inside Melbourne’s ‘graffiti war’ and the crew that took police 20 years to crack”, 24/5) about the people subjecting Melbourne to graffiti made me feel like I was living in a parallel universe. If they were so “highly regarded” as he suggests, then why aren’t people taking day trips to admire them? “Feel like a Sunday drive to admire the scrawls on every lamp post in Reservoir, dear?“. This could apply to any suburb in Melbourne. If they were “highly regarded”, have they ever sold their work? If they were “highly regarded”, they wouldn’t need to lurk in the shadows, scuttling out like cockroaches to deface other people’s property, then scuttling back like the menace they are.
