Cheyene Back, an 18-year-old Australian woman, was sentenced to three months jail yesterday for vandalising a Sydney cafe.
The tag - 30 centimetres high, 50 centimetres long and reading "2shie" - was sprawled on the Hyde Park Cafe on Macquarie Street. It was Back's first offence.
Do you think the sentence was fair?

I think this is too harsh for this person with no previous record. I would have recommended 3 months community work, ie cleaning tagging. However I feel strongly that we need to have stronger penalties for this crime, as the act should not be underated. I think of a community business and family man in Auckland last year who confronted taggers with a knife and one of the young men in the tussle died. The business man now faces a jail sentence and I think this is less fair.
I also think if people want to draw on walls, public space should be made available as this can look quite "artful".

It's pretty ridiculous. I don't condone graffiti at all, but this seems extreme.
That said, they have to make an example out of somebody and she just happened to be dumb enough to be caught.

| I work in a field that deals with the aftermath of these crimes, I understand the cost and the trauma this type of crime creates for a victim. By dealing in a reasonably harsh manner at this time with an offender it may be enough of a deterrent to cause them not to repeat and in most cases escalate their crimes therefore creating a brighter future for both society as a whole and the individual long term.

| Yes its fair-it probably wasnt the first one she has done. We should do it for our taggers,then maybe the message will get through that it is not art, it is costly damage.
