“…The results of the research, moreover, show the importance of context and, particularly, of urban areas in the shaping of press representations of the problems and solutions associated with the local regulation of street prostitution. In this, the research aligns with other studies, which have shown the importance of context in the understanding of the social control of incivilities (e.g., Whitehead, et al 2003;Millie, 2008Millie, , 2017Burney, 2009;Vanderveen and van Eijk, 2016). In particular, this research has shown that street sex workers have been considered as disorderly (and their presence as alarming and conducive to further crime) and as "ugly" and "out-of-space" in areas attended by middle classes.…”

“…Despite their significance, they are also abhorrent, being perceived as an undesirable annoyance and a mere illegal act of vandalism and mischief that contributes to a general sense of a heightened fear of crime and results in destruction to public or private property (Agnes, et al, 2014;DeNotto, 2014;El-Nashar & Nayef, 2016;Karlander, 2016;Vanderveen & Eijk, 2016). However, people still continue to write on walls in spite of the fact that the digital world (e.g.…”

Graffiti have received a great attention from scholars as they have been considered a vital cultural phenomenon for many years (Trahan, 2011;Divsalar & Nemati, 2012;Zakareviciute, 2014;Farnia, 2014;El-Nashar & Nayef;. Although there are extensive contemporary researches on graffiti in many disciplines, such as linguistics, cultural studies, politics, art, and communication (Pietrosanti, 2010;Farnia, 2014;Oganda, 2015), there are few studies exploring graffiti on classrooms' walls in higher education milieus (Farnia, 2014). To the best knowledge of the researchers, very few studies were done on the Jordanian context (e.g. Al-Haj Eid, 2008;Abu-Jaber, et al., 2012) and none was done on the Jordanian universities. Therefore, this study aims at analysing the content and communicative features of writings found on universities' classrooms' walls, corridors, and washrooms and their relation to the socio-cultural values of the society in order to explore how universities help students voice their attitudes and thoughts. The linguistic features that characterise these writings were also examined. Graffiti-writings, which were collected from the University of Jordan and the Hashemite University, were coded and analysed using the thematic content analysis technique (Braun & Clarke, 2006) and Critical Discourse Analysis (Fairclough, 1995). The analysis of the data has shown that graffiti serve different communicative language functions related to personal, social, national, religious, political, and taboo matters. The most salient linguistic features of these graffiti are simplicity and variation. It can be concluded that graffiti are distinctive and silent ways of communication, particularly in students' society. The study will be of great importance to linguists, sociologists, educators, administrators, teachers and parents. It is enrichment to the available literature on linguistic studies.

“…Therefore, many local governments are trying to prevent and remove street art and graffiti. Several cities in Australia, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States of America imposed a preventive policy on the existence of street art and graffiti by taking measures to prevent and eliminate the acts of vandalism (Vanderveen & Van Eijk, 2015).…”

“…Street art and graffiti play a role in city revitalization programs and represents the city commercial value and its identity (Look up to Mulcahcy & Flessas, 2015;Manrique, 2015;Landy & Steele, 1967;Ursic, 2014). On the other hand, several studies examines vandalism show irregularities which led to some criminal activities which implements to the implementation of preventive policies through the street art and graffiti in several cities (Look up to Vanderveen & Van Eijk, 2015 ;Stewart, 2008;Douglas, 2014). In addition, some literature discusses the gender perspective of the women's role in the world that considered as a masculine activity (Look up to Macdonald, 2001;Gentry, 2008;Perrin, 2015; Monto, Machalek, & Anderson, 2012).…”
