I think degrade is correct here because non-cooperative attitude has a lower effect. While some major event like robbery or murder spoils the image. There is no grammatical error while using them in a sentence. Correct me if I am wrong.

Degrade is not correct because degrade means to disrespect or breaking down by layers.
Defame is not correct because defame means to mar the reputation. Reputation and image are two different things. The image can be spoiled not degraded or defamed.

Degrade is generally used for 'person', 'company' etc. Who lost their credibilty and value in public.

It seems spoil and degrade both are similar so we can use both.

We use degrade while talking about the image. So degrade sounds more effective.
