Vandalism is an important act that has purpose of damaging or destroying the property

of another . It is widespread across schools and is not limited to schools in low socioeconomics
neighborhoods . In the school setting , it involves graffiti , general property destruction , and
break-ins . ( Dedel , 2005 )

School break-ins are usually of three types . Nuisance break-ins are those where the act
of breaking in is seemingly the purpose. Individual involved in these types of break-ins are often
those who are caught up with the actions of a peer group or who are breaking in just to create
some excitement . A good example is the senior prank that many high school seniors believe is
necessary at the ned of the school year. This is almost a tradition at some schools. One year ,
when author Marsha was teaching highschool , the senior broke into the school office at the
ned of the year and stuffed it with crumple newspapers for months and spent quite a bit of
time crumpling them . Although this was certainly not a malicious break-in , there were guilty
when they saw the custodians removing the paper and offere to help . ( Dedel , 2005 )

Vandalism involves destroying other peoples property , like benches , garbage bins ,
lantern , plants , bicycle , windows etcetera . It also involves graffiti on walls , windows and
benches , which is hard to remove and costs a lot of money .

Graffiti and destruction of other peoples property both cost piles of money and is
against the law . When you are caught red-handed on the committing of vandalism by the
police they will most certainly arrest you , and you either have to pay a fine or get a task
sentence . You don’t have to expect that you are arrested for vandalism , because you have
have destroyed things which don’t belong to you , and you will have to pay for it . ( E Enjte , 7

School vandalism is one of the major problems threatening countries . We review the
literature on this topic and point out some of the difficulties that hamper a through
understanding of this social phenomenean . We emphasize those strategies that have been
found to be successful in reducing the incidence of this offence . We interpret the available
information in terms of three ideological orientation : conservative , liberal , and radical , each
of which can be shown to result in effective policies .The choice as to which strategy to employ
on a national basis thus depends less on its proven efficacy than on the values and attitudes of
those concerned with the problem . Hence , we argue that future investigations into school
vandalism must adopt an “ action research “ approach , that is research that continually
assesses the effect that certain manipulations have on a specific school symtem .
