Abstract:
Two hundred and seven persons over 65 years of age were interviewed to determine the impact of crime on their lives. The setting was during a much publicized series of assaults on the rural elderly in their homes. Seventy two per cent were upset, 40% of the total were moderately upset and 26% suffered a major upset. Females and those over 75 years old were most upset. Some aspect of change of lifestyle was found in the vast majority.
