Seniors As Victims of Crime

Seniors As Victims of Crime

With the increasing proportion of seniors in Canada, there has been a growing concern about their risk of becoming victims of crime. Using data from self-reported victimization and police-reported surveys, this profile from Statistics Canada examines the nature and prevalence of violent and property crimes against seniors.

The report also examines characteristics of offences committed against seniors, the level of reporting to the police and the proportion of incidents involving weapons and causing injuries to senior victims.
