As graffiti became associated with crime, many demanded that the government takes a more serious stance towards it, particularly after the popularization of the Fixing Broken Windows philosophy. By the 1980, increased police surveillance and implementation of extreme security measures (razor wire, guard dogs) combined with continuous efforts to clean it up led to the weakening of the New York's graffiti subculture. As a result of subways being harder to paint, more writers went into the streets, which is now, along with commuter trains and box cars, the most prevalent form of writing. But the streets became more dangerous due to the burgeoning crack epidemic, legislation was underway to make penalties for graffiti artists more severe, and restrictions on paint sale and display made obtaining materials difficult. - wiki
