Everyone must face the realities of aging.
Situations vary as do the ways people deal with growing older.
Regardless of the circumstances, however, most older people say they worry about crime. Many fear becoming victims of crime. As a group, older people can be a powerful and active force. As individuals, they often can be vulnerable and may need help. Aware of their diminished strength and mobility, they realize that chances of outrunning or fighting off an attacker would be slim.
