Crime

• Eight per cent of people aged 60 plus in England and Wales say they live in fear of crime.
• As an age group, the 75 plus group is least likely to have a high level of worry about burglary, car crime and violent crime. 65-74 is also less likely than the average to have a high level of worry about car crime and violent crime.
• Older people (65 plus) are most likely to feel that crime is increasing 'a lot' in the country as a whole. However, older people are no more likely to perceive a similar increase of crime at a local level.
