Vandalism is caused by people who think it is funny damage peoples property. Normally caused by peer pressure when told to vandalise they feel they can't 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 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.

Vandalism is caused by people that wish to cause damage for no better reason to see the damage and enjoy the sense of power it brings.

One of my favorite quotes on this is: "They would break the world if they thought it would make a pretty noise" (Terry Pratchett)
