T 5.5 Vandalism

Vandalism is the damaging or destruction of someone else's property. The results are very similar to those of an attack except that vandalism is not planned and executed like an attack and is usually the result of spontaneous, blind destructiveness instead.

Outsiders (such as disappointed burglars or demonstrators that get out of control) as well as insiders (such as frustrated or psychologically unstable employees) are potential perpetrators of vandalism. The actual threat posed by vandalism is more difficult to estimate than the threat posed by an attack because vandals do not usually have a direct reason for committing the vandalism. Vandalism can be triggered by differences of opinion, personal problems, bullying, or a poor work climate, among other reasons.
