What is the profile of the vandal? How about statues dedicated to national heroes, that were vandalised by ethnic minorities which predominantly populate the area? Should cities remove such statues in order to protect them? Do cities attempt to sensitize their citizens in order to prevent vandalism of the same monuments? Any answer will be highly appreciated.

Historic Scotland have some publications on issues such as lead theft, grafitti removal etc. You can download many of these on the technical conservation website. The second link (to a publication) in particular may be of use as it deals with a particular case study of a monument that required major conservation work following decay and vandalism.
