    Take the Crime and Older Adults Quiz

    Being the victim of a crime is never pleasant, but older adults need to take special safety steps.

    1. Older adults may be targeted and attacked by strangers.
    2. One of the best ways to protect yourself at home is to lock your doors.
    3. Never open your door unless you've looked to see who is there.
    4. A good way to keep track of valuables is to make a list of them.
    5. If you receive a monthly pension check or check from Social Security, arrange to have it deposited directly into your checking or savings account.
    6. How you dress doesn't matter to a thief.
    7. If a business offer sounds too good to be true, it likely is.
    8. Family and friends can also prey on older adults.
