Elderly Crime Victims Face More Serious Attacks
A government study shows Americans 75 and older are half as likely to be crime targets as younger groups, but when crimes occur they are often more serious. Among serious crimes, 20 percent of 75 plus victims required medical treatment, compared with 11 percent for ages 65 to 74 and 13 percent for under 65. Violence rates per 1000 rise with age: 6 for 65 plus, 11.3 for 50–65, 34 for 25–49, and 67.5 for 12–24.
