How much force/energy to destroy a window?

Most residential window glass is 3/32” thick with common window sizes being 24" wide and 36" tall.

0.238125cm * 60.96cm * 91.44cm = 1327.352184cm^3
Glass fragmentation is 3.5 j/cc.

1327.352184cm^3 * 3.5j/cc = 4645.732644J or Street Level.
 
Couldn't anyone smash a window with enough force?
Nah. Not without breaking your hands or general damage.

Hands have a wide surface area so the energy produced is dissipated across the window, I'm also sure density of flesh plays a part in this.

It would be better to use something sharp or properly blunt like a hammer
