Vandalism

1. Vandalism Vandalism of a restored war memorial to students from Malvern Collegiate who were killed in World War I. The monument had just been restored prior to vandalism on Sunday, November 6, 2011.

2. Vandalism Assumption: Vandalism is not chance or senseless behaviour, but is determined (i.e., it has a cause and just doesn’t happen) like any other behaviour. Vandalism is not a crime in the Canadian Criminal Code Statistics on vandalism are not reliable, but are only very crude guestimates of the actual situation.

3. Note: The sections on arson and theft are also applicable!
