Question

Letter to the editor for the security of senior citizens

Answer 1

Answer:

According to the Department of Justice, senior citizens usually experience lower rates of crime. But when seniors are victimized, there is a 92 percent chance the crime will occur in or near their homes.

“As we age, our safety and security needs change, so it’s important to take extra precautions to keep ourselves and our senior family members safe,” said Steve Shapiro, director of product management for ADT Security Services. “Although statistics show seniors are less likely to be vulnerable to some types of crime, they are more likely than any other age group to be victims of crime in their own homes.”
