Vandal

Vandalism is the intentional act of damaging or destroying someone else’s property without permission. This can include graffiti, breaking windows, or damaging public spaces like benches or signs. It is often driven by various motives such as protest, rebellion, peer pressure, or boredom. Vandalism is considered a criminal offense because it harms community resources and creates an unsafe environment. Laws typically punish offenders to discourage these acts and maintain public order. Addressing vandalism often involves community efforts, education, and enforcement to deter future incidents.
