A problem that occurs in most states is vandalism. Vandalism is a growing national problem. Vandalism is willful or malicious destruction, injury, disfigurement, or defacement of property without the consent of the owner. It can effect your family, friends, property, community, and your pocketbook. The more you know about vandalism, the more you can make it a crime that is more trouble than it's worth. 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! Other than that,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. A significant number of youths who are involved in vandalism come from troubled or dysfunctional families. According to a study conducted, vandalism is usually carried out by youths from troubled family backgrounds and who wish to be independent. Apart from that, the lack of supervision and guidance from parents is among the main factors that drive teenagers towards this negative phenomenon. 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 activities also have adverse effects on society. Vandalism in often underestimated by local community. They suffer from the heinous activities. Community is difficult to make contact during emergency situation. Example wet while waiting for the bus because the bus stop damaged roof could not stop because of the rain.

vandalism activity is to be resisted for people to carry out their daily work.In addition,

vandalism activities also effect the country. Our country will be tarnished due to vandalism in terms of tourism and tourists will make a bad impression of our country as a result of activities such as scribbling public toilet vandalism, smashing car windows and so on. To overcome the vandalism authorities should issue the summon. The punishment given to vandals depends on how seriously they damage property. Most vandalism offences are fairly minor, and those are usually dealt with by Magistrate court. The penalty will depend on how much damage there was, how much it cost to repair. The authorities should impose a summons to those involved in vandalism. It cause the offender think of doing this unproductive activity. Not only that,camera installations also reduces vandalism activities. Government must install enough cameras on the road to reduce vandalism. Activities that help to the authorities to identify the person who made the mistake vandalism. vandals shy to make the activity if they know about the camera installation. Another that, government must give institute stiffer punishment like short-term jail sentences for repeat offenders. The value of damage is more then 5,000, the maximum penalty is six months in jail and a 5,000 fine. If the damage is less than 5,000,m the maximum penalty is three months in jail or fine of 2,500. This is a good way to reduce vandalism activities in Malaysia. Therefore, all parties, particularly parents, community, government should work together and carry out their obligation in order to reduce the symptoms of this increasingly serious. If the intention is successfully implement,is possible our country can stand, sit low in developed countries.
