Preferred term

senior victims  

Definition

  • While the elderly are certainly thought to be more frequent victims of street crime than other age groups, that is not necessarily the case. Except for personal larceny, such as purse snatching, the elderly are the least frequent victims of street crime. [Source: Encyclopedia of Street Crime in America; Victims, Senior]
