Once again we visit this serious topic which creates havoc for many. Vandalism is caused by people who think it is funny to damage peoples property - Normally caused by peer pressure when asked to vandalise people feel they cant say no. Vandalism can also be committed against minority groups as an expression of racism or religious hatred. It has been found in studies of teenage behaviour that those who commit seemingly pointless acts of vandalism are often shallow individuals who aspire to little other than material possessions, money and glamour, and feel jealous of those who have what they don't. It can be the result of bad parenting, but I suppose some are just born that way. Graffiti vandalism is a little different, in that they consider themselves "artists" who strive to be respected by other graffiti "artists". Cutting through fences, slipping past security to claim walls to tag is a big part of the thrill. Have a look at some recent vandal proof products pictured - plug cover box above designed to prevent plugs and leads from being stolen and tampered with, flood light cover boxes below to prevent pointless destruction of floodlights from reoccurring.
