‘Malicious damage’ is the term sometimes used for a wide range of criminal offences including intentional/reckless damage or destruction of property, graffiti and vandalism.

Our latest Blog Post talks about the law on malicious damage, the penalties, the reasons behind the offence and the crime hotspots.
