Vandalism can also be committed against minority groups as an expression of racism or religious hatred. It has been found in studies of teenage behavior that those who commit seemingly pointless vandalism are often shallow individuals who aspire to little other than material possessions, money and feeling jealous of those who have what they don't. It can be the result of bad parenting, or maybe some who are being influenced by bad company.
