No, there is no evidence to suggest that skateboard users have a higher arrest rate. While there is a criminal element associated with some skateboarding, it is usually associated with aggressive street skating and can vary greatly in different parts of the world. In most contexts, those who engage in skateboarding are typically law-abiding citizens. Furthermore, skateboarders have been recognized for engaging in positive activities such as community events, charity work and environmentalism.

There is conflicting evidence on whether skateboard users have a higher arrest rate. On one hand, several law enforcement agencies have noted an association between skateboarding and various criminal behaviors, such as vandalism, theft and loitering. On the other hand, the US Department of Transportation has noted in a research report that crime associated with skateboarding is no more frequent than that associated with other recreational activities. The report found that although skateboarders were more likely to report participating in risky behaviors such as property damage, fighting, drinking, and drug use, these criminal behaviors are no more common among skateboarders when compared to the general population.
