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.
Dont
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 home.
Many Chamber
of Commerces have security information aimed at older or more
vulnerable people. You could ask them for advice.
