Vindictive vandalism is characterized by deliberate damage to property as a means of revenge, intimidation, or expressing hatred towards a particular group. Painting swastikas on a synagogue falls under this category as it targets a specific community (Jewish) with a symbol associated with hate and anti-Semitism, intending to intimidate or express hatred.
