Word origin
The term 'vandalism' originates from the Germanic tribe of Vandals, who were known for their destructive behavior during the sack of Rome in 455 AD. Over time, the term evolved to refer to any deliberate act of destruction or damage to property. Vandalism is considered a criminal offense in most legal systems and is often associated with graffiti and other forms of public defacement.
