Older people
Older people may feel more vulnerable to some crimes, but are actually less likely to become victims. A few simple steps can also help reduce your risk of crime.

• Think about getting a personal alarm to use if you trip or fall at home.
• Don’t keep large amounts of cash at home – use a bank account instead.
• Look after your pension book carefully.
• Ask your landlord to fit door chains and spy holes, or ask the council to help you if you own your own home.
