Understanding Vandalism Threats
Who Vandalizes Construction Sites
Thrill-seeking, peer pressure, social media stunts
Revenge for termination, wage disputes
Protest against development projects
Territory marking, intimidation
Sabotage to delay projects, steal contracts
When & Why Sites Are Targeted
75% of vandalism on weekends
