Personal Safety
Personal safety is of special concern for the elderly since they are frequent crime victims. Any workable retirement plan should include consideration of personal safety factors. For many elderly people in America, especially those who cannot afford to move out of high crime urban areas, crime--and the fear of crime--are constant realities.
Creating an Anti-Crime Strategy. Planned retirement communities have security
patrols. Retired people under other circumstances have to take steps on their own to help each
other deal with crime. Social service organizations help elderly people with transportation,
monitoring and other activities in an effort to insulate them from crime. Crime against the
elderly is a reality in the United States. Only the person who plans a personal anti-crime
strategy can count on having a safe and secure retirement. Next Section: New Careers and Education Retirement and Aging: Chapter Home
