| Annotation | Fear of crime can prevent older people leading fulfilled and independent lives, forcing many into isolation, prisoners in their own homes. "Older people and fear of crime", the first part of this 2-volume work, defines the types of crime (including antisocial behaviour), and reviews the research to assess the impact of fear of crime on older people's lives. The second part, "Tackling older people's fear of crime", reviews a range of existing crime reduction strategies, including some of Help the Aged's SeniorSafety Campaign initiatives, demonstrating how success depends on widespread consultation and effective co-operation.
