What is considered a crime against property?

Assaulting another person
Breaking and entering
Harassment based on identity
Vandalism

The correct answer is: Vandalism

Vandalism is considered a crime against property because it involves the intentional destruction or damage of someone else's property. This act undermines the ownership rights of individuals and can lead to significant financial losses. Property crimes are typically characterized by the intent to interfere with a person's right to use or enjoy their property. Vandalism, as a form of property crime, can include acts such as graffiti, breaking windows, or damaging vehicles, all of which directly affect the physical state and value of property. Other crimes listed like assaulting another person and harassment based on identity pertain to personal safety and harm towards individuals, rather than property. Breaking and entering, while a property-related crime, is specifically categorized usually under burglary rather than vandalism, which more directly encompasses the concept of property damage.
