Victimology.
Elderly women are inherently more vulnerable to crime than younger women.
First, they are more likely to live alone. Nearly 80 percent of elderly persons
who live alone are female due in large part to an increased risk of widowhood
and longer life expectancy (Taeuber & Allen, 1990). Second, for the elder
female, vulnerability is related to physical size and strength.
