What is the term for vandalizing or defacing property?

  1. Stalking

  2. Vandalism

  3. Illegal Parking

  4. Trespassing

The correct answer is: Vandalism

The term for vandalizing or defacing property is vandalism. This involves the intentional destruction or alteration of someone else's property without permission, and it often includes actions like graffiti, breaking windows, or damaging vehicles. Vandalism is considered a criminal act and can lead to various penalties under the law. In contrast, the other terms refer to different actions: stalking is related to repeatedly following or harassing someone in a way that causes fear; illegal parking involves parking a vehicle in a restricted area; and trespassing deals with entering someone's property without permission. Understanding these distinctions is essential for recognizing the specific legal definitions and implications tied to each term.
