Abstract

This book has sought, in both broad sweep and fine detail, to examine the nature of vandalism and vandalism intervention in contemporary society. We have considered its frequency and costs, definitions and demographics, typologies and theories of causation, strategies and tactics of intervention, means of combining tactics into effective intervention programs, and guidelines for rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of such programs. Collectively, those several topics combine to almost, but not quite, complete the psychology-of-vandalism picture we seek to present. What remains to be addressed is the topic of ecovandalism.
