    Vandalism is a criminal act against property -- but when it's your property being damaged, it affects on a personal level. You feel violated, and wonder how such a thing could have happened to you. While vandalism hurts -- and more than just in the pocketbook -- there are ways that you can preventing vandalism. Like other crimes against property and people, the first step to preventing vandalism is understanding the crime.

    -Become aware of the costs -- dollars and otherwise. Community attitudes will change as individuals attitudes change.
  • Set a good example for your friends and family.
    Discourage those you see who are about to damage something. It's the small things that count!
  • Clean up your property -- debris can be tools for vandals.
  • Where you have had problems in the past, consider improved lighting and / or security
    devices.
    Co-operate with the Police, Civic Agencies, and your School Board -- report cases you have witnessed!
