目前的研究认为，老年人受到刑事侵害的问题不像老年人权益倡导者过去所说的那样严重。经验证明，受害比例比大多数其他年龄段要低。与此同时，老年人对犯罪受害者表现出高度的恐惧。本文试图通过一个“风险”假设来解释这一明显的悖论，该假设解释了低利率和高恐惧。
Current research argues that criminal victimization of the elderly is less of a problem than advocates for the elderly have argued it was in the past. The rate of victimization has been empirically demonstrated to be lower than for most other age groups. At the same time, the elderly express high levels of fear regarding criminal victimization. This article seeks to explain this apparent paradox through an “at risk” hypothesis that accounts for both low rates and high fear.
