OLDER AMERICANS PAY MORE FOR CRIME

No group pays a higher price for the rampant crime
in this country than older Americans. Despite the official
statistics indicating that Americans 65 years and older are
the least likely victims of crime -- compared to the rest
of the population--the consequences are often far
greater for our most senior generation.

Most crimes committed against the elderly are com-
mon thefts, especially purse snatching and pickpocketing.
While the amounts stolen are statistically small, averag-
ing less than $50, that can be more than enough to dev-
astate someone living on a fixed income. By the same to-
ken, when an elderly couple finds their social security
cbeck has been stolen out of their mailbox, they may be
unable to buy the medication they need.
Again, statistics indicate older Americans are un-
likely to be attacked or injured during ~ crime.'Yef, When
an aged person is hit or pushed to the ground, serious
injury is more likely to occur. In one case, a woman was
knocked to the ground after having her purse snatched.
She broke her arm and hip, resulting in astronomical
medical bills and eventually forcing her to be institu-
tionalized for the remainder of her life.

The economic, physical and emotional consequences
of being victimized are truly immense for older Amer-
icans. Perhaps the worst aspect is the day-in, day-out feel-
ing of tear. It dictates the activities of the elderly, often
preventing them from traveling by themselves. They miss
church, visiting friends and other social activities.
We have a long way to go to get the upper hand on
crime. But, public pressure is slowly forcing federal and
local officials to examine how laws can be strengthened
to deter crime. An important anti-crime bill which I sup-
ported has recently passed the Senate• Called the Com-
prehensive Crime Control Act, the bill denies bail to
dangerous persons, increases penalties for bail jumping,
and provides for uniform sentences. The bail reform is
very important when you consider that nearly a third of
all robberies, burglaries, and assaults -- crimes often com-
mitted against the elderly -- were committed by persons
free on some of conditional release last year. However,
more still needs to be done, including beefing up crime
prevention programs at local levels.
Crime is preventable. We can deter it by letting the
criminals know they'll have to pay a higher price than
their victims•
