Although young people are more likely than older people to be victims of crime, fear of crime is particularly likely to affect the quality of older people's lives. In my recently published Older People's Strategy I committed both to monitoring older people's experience of crime and also to hosting a conference on older people and fear of crime. I have also provided funding for police safer neighbourhoods teams, which are already making a real contribution to reassuring Londoners, young and old alike. I believe that measures such as these are more likely to make older people safe, and feel safe, than introducing the sort of legal change suggested though I will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to press for legislative reform.
