VANDALISM is the deliberate damage or defacement of property, especially that in public view. The meaning comes from the destruction of Roman edifices and structures by the barbarian Vandals who sacked Rome in the 5th Century AD. "Graffiti" may be designed as vandalism (to denigrate the affected structures), or as counter-culture art in itself.
