Seniors Are Prone To Be A Victim Of Crimes

By Donna Phillips


Each time the numbers of criminal records seem to multiply. We cannot deny that our society appears to be rampant of acts inhuman in nature. People do not have a choice but to entrust their safety to the proper authority. Elder fraud has been a huge problem to almost the entire world.

We need to understand that older people are basically weaker than young ones. That is actually true not only in physical strength but also in mental capacity. Emotionally, these persons are also weaker so they are most likely to be the target of criminals. Without a doubt, humans are born with natural desire so we cannot blame them if they lose the correct path.

However, as the time passed by, the taste of almost all the people have changed. For this particular reason the environment had also changed and violence became very common. Some chooses to do things contrary to law and public policy for their own personal reasons. We cannot blame these persons because such are only trying the best they could in order to survive.

Indeed, humans are willing to do anything just to provide the need of those who depend on them, such as family. We are now living in a world where nothing is given for free. Everything is subject for compensation and prices are always concurrent with it. Basic needs like foods and clothing, continue to raise their prices and some citizen cannot cope up with these.

Our minds are really good in solving any kind of problem, but as to how we solve it sometimes becomes the problem. Some are forced to make things which are shocking to the conscience. We even regret those for most of the time. It may sound odd but that is actually the reality and such is only normal to people.

Indeed, our heart is designed with no other thing but to give love. But when our mind takes place the role of our heart, hatred may come to exist. And as a result, violence is most like to happen. Every individual is capable of committing an act acceptable or not to the law. But the most common reason for a person to get berserk is actually the environment.

Considering that criminals do not choose any age and situation, still old people are at more risk than younger ones. As a matter of fact, robbery and scam are rampant to those who cannot fight. Children are common in kidnapping for ransom, and seniors are prone to robbery by stealth and scam.

That is why people with malicious intent tend to target the former. Sad to say but we cannot completely eradicate evil because such is always inside of every person. That is true that evils reside on us, we were born with a good and bad personalities, but it is up to us on how we manage ourselves.

However, on the other hand, no matter how much we care for them there are still some persons who take advantage of their disability. Indeed, they are really vulnerable for their level of understanding and memory capacity. They are also soft hearted and easily give their trust to anybody without even checking for its background. Fortunately, our government had been making steps in order to protect their safety and ensure that they will not be taken for granted.
