| Annotation | This article assesses existing explanations of the relationship between the risk and fear of crime amongst elderly people. These have tended to assume an incongruity between levels of fear and the chances of victimization. The author argues that age structured relationships should be retained in analyses of fear and crime as a determinant of actual rather than perceived risk. |
