What type of areas are usually subject to higher than normal vandalism?

Secluded out of the way buildings are often subject to higher than normal vandalism due to their isolated locations. These areas lack the visibility and foot traffic that provide informal security, making them attractive targets for individuals wishing to engage in vandalism. The absence of active oversight or potential witnesses increases the likelihood of such incidents occurring.

High traffic zones and well-lit urban centers typically have more people present, which acts as a deterrent to vandalism. Parks and recreational facilities may also have a fair amount of activity and surveillance, reducing the chances of vandalism occurring compared to isolated buildings. Therefore, it is the seclusion and lack of observation in certain areas that significantly contribute to their vulnerability to vandalism.
