Vandalism as crime.
ReplyDeletePrivate citizens commit vandalism when they willfully damage or deface the property of others or the commons. Some vandalism may qualify as culture jamming or sniggling: it is thought by some to be artistic in nature even though carried out illegally or without the property owner's permission. Examples include at least some graffiti art, billboard "liberation" and possibly crop circles. Criminal vandalism takes many forms. Graffiti on public property is common in many inner cities as part of a gang culture; however, other more serious forms of vandalism that may take place during public unrest such as rioting can involve the willful destruction of public and private property. Vandalism per se is sometimes considered one of the less serious common crimes, but it can become quite serious and distressing when committed extensively, violently or as an expression of hatred and intimidation.
Examples of vandalism include salting lawns, cutting trees without permission, egg throwing, breaking windows, arson, spraying paint on others' properties, tagging, placing glue into locks, tire slashing, keying (scratching) paint, ransacking a property, and flooding a house by clogging a sink and leaving the water running.

Motives.
ReplyDeleteActions of this kind can be ascribed to anger or envy, or to spontaneous, opportunistic behaviour– possibly for peer acceptance or bravado in gang cultures, or disgruntlement with the target (victim) person or society. Opportunistic vandalism of this nature may also be filmed, the mentality of which can be akin to happy slapping. The large-scale prevalence of gang graffiti in some inner cities has almost made it acceptable to the societies based there– so much so that it may go unnoticed, or not be removed, possibly because it may be a fruitless endeavour, to be graffitied on once again.- afendi
Social Activist Proposes Stringent Legislation Against Vandalism
ReplyDeleteKUALA LUMPUR, Sept 21 -- Vandalism Act should be introduced to allow a heavier punishment against offenders, including caning and compulsory community service, to curb rampant vandalism in the country.
Social activist Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said the current vandalism by-laws were inadequate to eradicate the problem which was posing a major threat to the well-being of citizens.
In a statement, he said local authorities spent millions of ringgit annually to repair public amenities and property that had been vandalized.
"Hardly a week passes without reports in the media about some form of vandalism being committed on public telephones, street lightings, public parks, or housing flats.
"In many local authority areas, even manhole covers and aluminium signages are not spared," he said.
He said although vandalism in the country was not as severe as in many countries in the West, the quantum of damage rendered it a serious problem that must be tackled effectively.
"As it is difficult for authorities to nab the culprits red-handed, members of the public can make a citizen's arrest on those found in the act of vandalising public properties," he said.
Lee said education alone was insufficient to tackle the problem and that it must be backed up by a stringent legislation and strong enforcement.
He proposed that the Vandalism Act provide compulsory community service on offenders according to the number of hours to be determined by the authorities.
Lee also said imprisonment not exceeding two years and caning should be included in the Act for habitual offenders who committed the offence more than three times.

Proposed Vandalism Act Must Come With Heavy Fine - Lee Lam Thye
ReplyDeleteKUALA LUMPUR, Nov 28 (Bernama) -- A vandalism act, with heavier fines and compulsory community service, will serve as a deterrent to stem vandalism in the country, said Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation (MCPF) vice-chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.
He said, such an act might be the answer to society's woes as vandalism by-laws enforced by the various local authorities were inadequate.
In a statement here on Saturday, Lee noted that there was a need for a new federal legislation to deal with the problem.
This, he said, could be done, through compulsory community service to shame the culprits, as well as a provision to cane habitual offenders, as Article 6 of the Federal Constitution which prohibited forced labour, was amended several years ago.
He suggested that the proposed vandalism act "should provide for those who commit any act of vandalism, shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable upon conviction to compulsory community service, in addition to a fine not exceeding RM2,000.".
"For habitual offenders, those guilty of offences shall be liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years and shall also, subject to section 231 of the Criminal Procedure Code, be punished with caning with not less than three strokes and not more than eight strokes," he said.
