Do skateboard users, have a higher arrest rate? There seems to be a criminal element associated with skateboarding.

There is no concrete evidence that skateboard users have a higher arrest rate, however there is certainly a stigma and negative perception associated with skateboarding that does often lead to the criminalization of skateboarding and skateboarders. This negative perception has lead to lawmakers attempting to ban certain activities related to skateboarding such as skateboarding in public places or on public transportation, while those same activities such as publicly performing art in other forms such as dance and theatre are generally not targeted.
