Vandalism ... experience and why does there seem to be very little support from the Law around vandalism until it becomes extreme? How best can we prevent this from happening? Surely this vandalism occurs from a lack of understanding of the vandalist and could there not be a way for society to teach our children why vandalism is of no benefit to anyone? We want to know your views on this topic.

I'm sure its not fun to smash up peoples properties, cost people money, intimidate people elderly or young, ruin surroundings for young children who are just out to play and have genuine fun and be happy. No matter what though these "kids" will always have an excuse as to why ... more

We see it everywhere don't we, vandalism. You only have to walk down your own street and see names advertised on walls, shop walls and shutters, peoples houses, even on the floors we walk on. Walls broke, windows smashed, cars damaged and shutters on peoples windows. Is there really any need? I know when I was 15, hanging around on the streets and in the local parks I'd think I was clever to sketch my name on the park's climbing frame. That was all I did do though, I felt so guilty afterwards, I was always brought up to have respect for people and their property and my surroundings and treat everyone and everything with the respect I'd expect for myself. I ...  Read the complete review

Vandalism is a serious crime which people do not pay enough attention to. Vandalism often occurs when there are large groups of youths who think it will be fun to write abusive words on the swings in the park or to carve their names no to the bodywork of cars. It is not taken seriously enough as most of the time the police or local authorities cannot help if the vandals are not caught red-handed. They just say the same thing over and over again that they will get back to you as soon as they have more information. But who is to blame? Most people would say that it is the parents' faults. They should teach their kids how to respect other people and their ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Vandalism: Idiot vandals (184 words)

A subject that is unfortunately close to my heart. I moved to a city centre apartment block a year ago tempted by the location and by what I could afford. Now I realise that for some reason the place is a magnet for vandals. Not that long goes by than I'm phoning the maintenance people about the latest episode of mindless vandalism. If it isn't grafitti at the front doors it's the garage doors being broken and if it's not that it's cars being broken into. I'm so tired of this. I'm sure we all agree vandals are mindless idiots, I've tried to prevent these idiots from blighting here by chasing them, shouting down as they try and get in and by ...  Read the complete review

Vandalism is something that I feel strongly about. I don't really care about graffiti, some of it actually looks okay. I get really, really miffed about broken glass! I have two dog and ALWAYS clear up after them in the street, but I am getting to the point where I'm wondering why I bother? I mean, I cannot walk anywhere in my area without encountering shards of glass on the pavement. I don't mean a little bit, it is huge quantities. This is actually dangerous. Yes, dog poo is gross and unclean and no one wants to step in it. But better than glass right? I mean, there are people out there waiting to fine you for not picking up after your dog. My ...  Read the complete review

I dont see the point in vandalism myself, to me the people who do these things must have nothing better to do with themselves other that to cause damage and make a mess. Many years ago there were borstals to put naughty kids in, and most of the time it made them see the error of there ways. Nowerdays young people go to prison its like a holiday camp, they can come and go as they please, get tvs, and sometimes computers its no wonder they want to go back, it is so cushty. Recently my cousins child was killed in a housefire after a wheely bin was set alight and put against the door, and days later in the same area another bin was set alight and put against ...  Read the complete review
