Abstract
This chapter focuses on the ways in which police and others may suspect foul play or other causes of cemetery damage . Causes of cemetery damage vary on a continuum from environmental factors , material aging , and accidents to intentional crimes such as vandalism, juvenile delinquency , hate crimes , and cultural and physical genocide . Law enforcement , organizational, religious and ethnic group , and community responses to cemetery damage are examined. In addition, the traumatic and stigmatizing effects of cemetery vandalism and hate crimes are examined.
