摘要：

It has been well documented that older adults, especially women, are inure inclined to express fear of crime, but their risk of victimization is significantly lower than for people from other age groups. Even if gender issues related to fear are known, fear of crime among men is undocumented. This article explores how worry about victimization among older men (N= 156), from 3 francophone cities in Quebec, Canada, is influenced by age groups (60-69, 70-79 and 80 years old and over), health, depression, social support and prior victimization. There are significant results associated with the 3 dimensions of worry about crime (emotional, behavioural and cognitive). We conclude by commenting on the following question: Is worry about crime among elderly men a reality? (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
