This is a wide area of information, and I hope I am able to help. There are thousands of web sites out there lending information about this topic... I can give you some links to go to of the ones I know about, but would suggest just typing in "crimes against Elderly" in any search engine and let it take you to all the different sites... here are three sites that have information in this area that should help you:

http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/abstract/evc.htm

http://www.communitypolicing.org/

( on the above use their search engine and type in Crimes against Elderly )

http://www.seniorcrimewatch.com
