Вандализм – одна из форм разрушительного поведения человека. В последние годы это явление обсуждается в российской печати, опубликовано несколько научных работ, посвященных отдельным проявлениям вандализма. В новом Уголовном кодексе данное преступление определяется как "осквернение зданий или иных сооружений, порча имущества на общественном транспорте или в иных общественных местах". Помимо "вандализма" это "хулиганство", "надругательство над могилой", "умышленное уничтожение, разрушение или повреждение памятников истории и культуры", "умышленное уничтожение или повреждение имущества".Эмпирические исследования вандализма среди школьников показали, что успехи в школе являются фактором, снижающим вероятность вандализма среди подростков, имеющих другие неблагоприятные факторы. 
Хотя большинство задержанных за вандализм составляют подростки, было бы неверно считать вандализм исключительно подростковым явлением. Так, в США в 1995 г. 32% лиц, арестованных за вандализм, были старше 25 лет, среди арестованных за поджог доля лиц старше 25 лет также составляет около 32%. Немецкие криминологи отмечают, что доля лиц старше 21 года среди задержанных за нанесение материального ущерба весьма значительна и составляет 48,4%.
